Someone round here bought an Abbot for £8k in apple-pie order and with spares, which I think is more realistic than £20k for a personnel carrier.
Quite so, the FV433 is more tank-like too although it isn't a tank at all.

I would have thought the CVR(T) Scorpion, which does have a turret and 75mm main gun would command a higher value than the other definitely non-tank like CVR(T) variants.

That said, after mastering the turning specialities of a controlled diff, Merritt-Brown gearbox, they are awfully quick and even more so with the peace-time electronic ignition governor fuse that lives behind the carb removed. By this means the 4.2 Jag that heaves it all along doesn't cop out at 4750 but you can take it all the way to the 7000 red line.
