Alvis Stormer TRV (Troop Reconnaissance Vehicle) in fantastic condition, with apparently very little use since full base overhaul. Finding an example in this condition available for sale is now virtually impossible.

The Alvis Stormer is a modern military armoured vehicle which was manufactured by Alvis Vickers, now part of BAE Systems Global Combat Systems.

The Stormer vehicle was developed to provide a mobile platform for the Starstreak High Velocity Missile (HVM) system for detachment level protection and excellent mobility with eight ready to fire missiles and a further nine stowed inside.

The HVM system is a low level Close Air Defence (CAD) system with a rapid engagement capacity developed and optimised to counter the Attack Helicopter threat.

This is the Troop Reconnaissance variant of the platform, having never been fitted with a launcher, but used in command and control of the Battery.

The Stormer is a development of the CVR(T) family of vehicles (Scorpion, Scimitar, Spartan etc.), essentially a larger, modernised version with an extra road-wheel on each side.
