Text in original Preserved Tanks In Britain publication:
Developed by MVEE, Chertsey, Surrey. Turret came separately on 30 April 1993, also from RARDE. (Source: Museum Vehicle Record).
This hull is one of the automotive test rigs, ATR2, for the MBT-80 programme. It is constructed of steel and aluminium in an effort to save weight: steel at the front, aluminium at the rear with a sandwich layer of stainless steel between the two to overcome the impossibility of welding steel and aluminium together. Cracks are apparent at the rear of the vehicle where side and rear plates meet. The turret is actually an FV4211 turret; a turret from the MBT-80 programme is also at Bovington, on an FV4030 hull.
