After the FV230 tank project was closed, British engineers had the idea of using its chassis designs to create a tank destroyer. Due to weight reduction, the vehicle's track width was reduced to 800 mm while keeping the remaining suspension and chassis layout. For armament, the designers planned to mount a 123 mm rifled gun. The vehicle was meant to combine excellent protection, good firepower, and decent mobility. However, anti-tank missile systems were prioritized in fighting tanks, and the project was terminated.
