I drove a 432 in the 80”s and it suited us just fine at the time. The warrior was a massive step up for us but trust me, it didn’t take long to de-bus out (and we had the L37 turret to get in the way as well)
I'm a former British Army Rifleman and used, drove and maintained the FV 432 as armoured infantry soldier stationed in West Germany in the early 1980's, we had 8 soldiers in the back with all the kit and ammunition in the side cages, we also had a GPMG turret mounted over the mortar hatches. I later drove a mortar vehicle, firing the mortar directly from the mortar hatches in the back. The rear door swung open no problem and we could quickly exit the vehicle to join the battle. We had 4 Armoured Divisions stationed in BAOR/BFG back then, so there were a lot of these around, even in Canada out in Medicine Hat for live firing Battle Group exercises and it is still in use today in the British Army, mainly in support roles. It is still lever steered, but slow on the road around 15 mph, with the driver unprotected from the elements, but it is a good solid vehicle, used in Mark 1 and Mark 2 versions, Mark 1 was petrol and Mark 2 diesel, we used the Mk 1 petrol version in 11 Armoured Brigade and in BATUS. The rest of the brigades and divisions used the Mk 2! Some Mk 1's were converted to diesel. There were lots of variants of this vehicle, so it is solid and useful, a real battlefiel taxi but not an IFV, the Warrior took that role and did it Well! You missed the most important part of the vehicle, the BV's or Boiling Vessels used to boil water for Tea and Coffee etc, and to cook tins of food. They were mounted as a pair on the rear door! Thank you for having this vehicle in your Museum and for sharing! 👍🏼 🙏🏼
As a 432 driver in British infantry 1974 Germany ...try pushing open the door when vehicle facing down hill ...cant be that bad still in use today ...came in many variables from 432 ,434 reme version with open back and crane ...
Very good commentary👍🏼💫

You missed a chance to talk more about our Canadian Grizzly which cam be classed as an IFV as well. Maybe a whole video comparing them. In the Griz we sat on the fuel tank as it was the central seat in the back for two rows of outward facing troops.
Actually I think you'll find that you Americans actually drive on the wrong side of the road.
Do you guys know where you can get FV432 tracks in north america and how?
Yes you could get out of a 113 cause everyone just sits on the top of them!
👍
m113 is shite
