B

V 206 was the latest acquisition to the Turrets and Tracks collection. It is the first vehicle we have purchased in a fully serviceable condition. This particular vehicle is an ex- Swedish Army variant, complete with all it's CES (complete equipment schedule) e.g. pick axe, shovels and tow ropes. With only 5500 kilometres on the clock, it has done very little work. The BV 206 was designed to work in some of the most hazardous conditions, particularly in the mountainous regions of Swedon where any normal vehicle would have failed. It is fully amphibious, yet this vehicle is just as well agile on the desert terrains found in the Middle East. It has the capabilities to carry up to 17 men, 6 in the front cabin and 11 in the rear cabin, or 2.5 tons of equipment or supplies at speeds of up to 56kph. The BV 206 saw service with the British Army from the mid 80's and is still used today. The only major modification is the replacement of the Ford V6 petrol engine, with a Mercedes diesel engine.
