FV722 CVR-W Vixen

Overview
This vehicle is an Un-turreted version of the Combat Vehicle Reconiassance - Wheeled project that resulted in the Fox Armounred Car. The Vixen was planned and trialled but never entered production. An example of the Vixen is held at the Bovington museum, information about which can be found here. The Project was cancelled in Defence cuts of December 1974.
Hull #2 after spending about two decades mounted on a plinth as a gate guard at the Military Vehicles and Engineering Establishment, Chertsey was recovered, exported and restored to mechanically operational condition in Australia by a member of the AAVA as seen in the photograph above.
