The vehicle offered, Saracen Command Post Vehicle (CPV), is an older restoration that is possibly still in its original condition. Exterior and interior paint are perfect. All interior map tables and original equipment are in place. The tires are in very good condition. The engine runs and drives well on fuel from its own tanks. The brakes are functional. The engine compartment is complete. All driver's controls are present and function normally.

The Saracen CPV is part of the Saracen family of 6x6 armored personnel carriers (APC). The Saracen was the first British post-World War II family of light armored vehicles. First going into production in 1952, the Saracen family includes three different APC's, a command post version, an artillery command vehicle and an ambulance version.

The CPV has a raised roof compared to the standard APC type. It features seating, fold-down tables and extra radio equipment. Externally, it has a tented rear section that extends out from the rear of the vehicle.

The Saracen saw service in various conflicts during the 20th century including the Aden and Malayan Emergencies, Lebanese civil war and in Northern Ireland. They were purchased and used by at least 15 different countries including Australia, Brunei, Indonesia and Kuwait. Most have been retired from active service.
