The Scimitar was designed and used as the close reconnaissance version of the CVR(T) family. Instead of the 76mm this vehicle is armed with the 30 mm Rarden automatic cannon and again powered by the Jaguar engine.
Again a brilliant vehicle for it's role and still in service today having seen service and combat in everything from the Falklands conflict to the Gulf wars. It's fair to say that it has been extremely difficult to replace these vehicles with similar qualities to equal the CVR(T) now, something is to replace it but, for a revised role requiring it seems something much larger than the CVR(T).
