The Centurion Mk 2 ARV entered service with the British Army in the mid-1950s. It differed from the earlier Centurion ARV in that it had a built-up superstructure in place of the turret. Previous Centurion ARV's used a turretless hull. The Mk 2 was equipped with a winch and spade for recovery operations. The winch had a direct pull capacity of 30-tons. A Rolls-Royce B80 "Meteor" engine with a rating of 180-hp supplied power for the winch. The Meteor engine is the ground version of famous supercharged Merlin engine used in the Spitfire and Mustang fighter planes.

The Centurion Mk 2 ARV continued in British service into the 1970s until replaced by the larger Chieftain ARV series. It also saw service with the Australian, Dutch, Indian, Israeli, Swedish and Swiss armies.
