The record
GKN Sankey developed it from the AT100 IS and AT104. The British Army ordered 47 in early 1983 and took delivery in early 1984, ordered 247 more with an option on 200 in late 1985 with the last arriving by early 1989, and added about 100 plus ambulances in 1990; over 1,200 Saxons had been built by 1995. Britain withdrew the last in 2012, keeping 147 in storage, but Ukraine, Malaysia, Nigeria, Oman, Somalia, Mozambique, Congo and Djibouti were still running them in 2024. Later production passed to Alvis, Alvis Vickers and BAE Systems.
Procedural reference review, 28 September 2026: four shared road wheels, new tall truck-derived armoured hull with steep radiator nose, offset right driver position, side and twin rear doors, leaf-spring detail and full interior. British green/black carrier follows Ian Young’s walkaround: cupola machine gun, upper side stowage boxes and roof rack. Export-specific equipment and markings excluded. No external spare or rear jerrycan racks are visible in the selected all-around walkarounds, so neither is invented. Museum dimensions are 5.17 × 2.49 × 2.63 m; its height label does not establish hull-roof height. The rendered 3.07 m axle spacing and handling specifications are estimates for model/gameplay use, not newly verified historical specifications. All 17 supplied originals, seven APC and three medical reference photographs inspected. Populated queue operator countries are broader than this British row and include a deployment theatre/territory; retained for reviewer correction.
