This is believed to be the second prototype of the FV3805 developed by FVRDE. It was converted to be an observation vehicle on the Shoeburyness firing range. The main armament has been removed and replaced by a glass vision block. It is in poor condition, and is stored outside with a metal frame sitting on its roof.
