MPCV (Mine Protected Combat Vehicle)

Mounted on a 2.5 Unimog chassis the MPCV was going to be the vehicle of the Mechanised Infantry of the Rhodesian Armoured Car Regiment. To late to serve in the Rhodesian Bush War, 13 vehicles were issued to C coy 1 RAR to keep the peace in Matabeleland after Independence in 1980. They would support the armoured cars (Eland 90s) which had been attached to 1RAR. For war gamers this could be part of a ‘what if scenario’.
