(click image for large view) |
The Samaritan Ambulance hull is similar to the Spartan but has an additional 12 inches in roof
height. The driver and vehicle commanders positions are layed out similar to the Spartan and
Striker. The rear compartment has room enough for four passengers. This can be nearly any
combination of sitting and stretcher. In a combat role one of the sitting positions is normally
taken up by a medic. Due to the nature of the vehicles mission there are only smoke dischargers
mounted for armament. |

Weight (max): 19,100 lbs
Height: 7 ft 10 in
Length: 16 ft 5 in

Notes For Collectors:
A wide variety of the CVR(T) series vehicles are now available on the private collectors
market. These typically include the Scorpion, Sabre, Spartan, Sultan, Striker, and Samson. If
you are looking for an armoured vehicle to drive, the CVR(T) series of vehicles offers
performance, automotive dependability, spare parts availability and are small enough to store
without excessive expenses. The CVR(T) vehicles are quite modern, especially for the private
collectors market. The British Army still uses many of them on active duty. Most of the older
armoured vehicles, for example the M4 Sherman, are difficult at best to maintain due to lack of
spare parts availability. The prices of CVR(T) vary widely depending on condition and model.
The gun versions (Scorpion (76mm) and Sabre (30mm) generally are the most expensive followed by
Spartan APC and so on. If you are in the USA I would recommend that you buy the best condition
vehicle you can afford to buy. Restoring one here is difficult at best. We do stock some
CVR(T) spares and our list is constantly growing. |
