sirhc Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Designed by Daimler and built by Royal Ordnance, nothing to do with Alvis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcoregon Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Wow; Seems Cheap considering there are only about 50 of these out there. I would want at least $45,000 USD for mine. Takes a crew to drive one. Oddly another one in Oregon, USA was advertised for $72,000 USD in MVPA magazine. Newc in Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but was the turret not an Alvis product or is that just another rumour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just found this on the Army Guide site (http://www.army-guide.com/eng/product967.html):- The Fox has now been phased out of service with the British Army with some of the turrets removed and fitted on to Alvis Scorpion CVR(T)s which have had their turrets removed. These vehicles are then known as the Sabre. AND A small number of Fox turrets were fitted on FV432 full tracked armoured personnel carriers. Perhaps Brightwells were confused because:- All of the welded aluminium turrets for the Fox light armoured car were manufactured by Alvis Vehicles.

sirhc Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Or maybe because the Wikipedia page incorrectly says they were built by Alvis? Anyone can write anything they like on the internet, fake news and all that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
