made, resulting in the "Snatch 1.5", "Snatch 2A and B" and "Snatch Vixen" vehicles.
The vehicle is armoured with the CAMAC glass fibre
composite and was the successor of the Glover-Webb APV.
The Snatch 1.5 was a "Desertized" early vehicle, which included equipment that helped it perform in hotter environments, including an air conditioning system. The Snatch 2 was an upgraded model, including a new turbo-diesel engine, but only used as training vehicle. The Snatch 2A was also simililarly upgraded and "Desertized", while the 2B was fitted with most of the same improvements, besides the A/C. The Snatch "Vixen" is an even further upgraded model, including a new automatic gearbox, strengthened chassis, uprated suspension and includes under-body armor below the front cab. Some later "Snatch" Landy's are based upon the Land Rover XD "Wolf" TUM chassis. |
