The first Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Wheeled) CVR(W) Fox prototype was completed in 1967. The Fox was being developed at the same time as the Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked) Scorpion. Production was undertaken by the Royal Ordnance Factory, Leeds, but later bought out by Vickers Defense Systems.

Although somewhat similar in appearance to the Ferret, the Fox is a completely different vehicle. One big difference is the Fox has an all aluminum alloy hull. Like the Scorpion, the Fox is powered by the Jaguar J60 4.2 litre 6 cylinder. The 30mm RARDEN cannon that was fitted in the Scimitar is also in the Fox. The layout is similar to the CVR(T)s with the driver in the front of the hull and the gunner and commander in the turret. The turret were unique to the Fox but were later used on some CVR(T) s after the Fox was taken out of service. The Fox was originally manufactured with a floatation screen making the vehicle fully amphibious.

Notes on this Vehicle: This particular Fox has just been fully serviced in our shop. It is a turnkey vehicle that is ready to drive. The center ammunition bin in the turret has been removed for the additional space but is included in the sale of the vehicle. The gun is a repro barrel and looks quite accurate from the outside. The Fox is a very impressive armoured vehicle with performance to match.
