Produced by GKN Sankey Ltd, the FV432 series of vehicles has run
almost as many variants as the M113. The driver is seated to the
right front next to the engine. The five road wheels on each
side are rubber tired, and mounted on torsion bar suspension.
The manganese track plates are rubber padded and rubber bushed
which makes it street adaptable. Crew compartment is in the rear
entered into by a large rear door. The 432 has NBC protection.
The side seats in the rear are removable for more room if
needed.
