History

The CVR(T) family includes light reconnaissance tanks, armoured personnel carriers, and engineering vehicles. They share a common engine, transmission and running gear but have different bodies depending on role. More than 3,000 CVR(T)s were manufactured by Alvis Vickers.

Alvis have designed a new family of vehicles based on an extended version of the Spartan, the Stormer which is already in service with the British Army.

To complement the CVR(T) range there was also the Combat Vehicle Reconnaisance (Wheeled) - CVR(W) which in the end delivered only the Fox Armoured Reconnaissance Vehicle

Besides the original manufacturer, there is at least one commerical company that offers upgrades to modernize CVR(T)s under the S 2000 Scorpion Peacekeeper name. They have also achieved a authenticated record speed of 51 mph with one of these modernized vehicles.
