FV103 Spartan is a British Army armoured personnel carrier.

Spartan is the APC member of the CVR(T) family. It has capacity for 5 men in addition to 2 crew (commander and driver). Externally it is almost indistinguishable from the FV102 Striker.Rather than a general personnel carrier for infantry, the Spartan is retained for moving specialist teams (eg anti-aircraft missile teams, Royal Engineer technicians) across the battlefield.

Variants

*FV120 Spartan with MILAN Compact Turret (MCT) - an anti-tank guided missile equipped variant.
