The FV 432 AFV is one of the British Army's FV 430 series of armoured fighting vehicles, and the most common variant used for transporting infantry on the battlefield.
The FV 432 Series are being replaced by FV 510 Warriors.
The following is a (partial) listing of FV numbers ("fighting vehicle") as used by the British Army.

 Armed Forces - a5a11 - British Army - The Infantry - AFV 103 Spartan
Fv 101 Scorpion, Fv 102 Striker, Fv 104 Samaritan, Fv 105 Sultan, Fv 106 Sampson and Fv 107 Scimitar.
Samaritan, Sultan and Sampson are also APC type vehicles, Samaritan is the CVRT ambulance vehicle, Sultan is the armoured command vehicle and Sampson is an armoured recovery vehicle.
Spartan, like FV 432 is likely to be replaced in some roles by the future Multi Role Armoured Vehicle (MRAV) and in other roles by the Future Command and Liaison Vehicle (FCLV).

Both the FV 421 and the FV 423 are pictured in the Profile.
The FV 438 was originally a Swingfire launcher but was subsequently converted into a Royal Signals Wavell vehicle when Swingfire was withdrawn.

My first experience with a tracked AFV was driving my own Stuart Light Tank and although there is a world of difference between an APC and a Stuart, the basic handling is the same.
They are noisy without being deafening and fit the image of an AFV power plant, however, the manual does call for a minimum hearing protection of a headset or helmet and states that ear plugs should also be worn.
The majority of most AFV crews (except all drivers and the gunners in MBTs) spend their career riding their vehicles standing up, not sitting as you would expect.

The principal programme milestones are assessment phase: May 2003-Dec 2005; main gate: Dec 2005; ISD: 2009.The FRES is the UK programme to deliver a family of deployable medium-weight armoured vehicles to the British Army, to meet up to 15 different battle space roles.
There are four key drivers: delivery of a cost-effective rapid effect capability; elimination of Saxon, CVR (T) and FV 432 from the UK inventory; increased levels of commonality across the UK light AFV fleet; war fighting capability and utility across the conflict spectrum.
The statement of user need for FRES is: "The user requires a system of medium land forces able to conduct sustained, expeditionary, full spectrum operations in combined-arms, joint and multi-national contexts, in a wide range of future operating environments".

As I understand, that was the point of the bradly, an AFV that is light enough to be air-mobile, but still carries some armor and AT capabilities to handle itself untill the tanks arrive.
I said the job of fighting and the job of carrying infantry should be seperated to different AFVs.
Also as you mentioned, a heavily armored but lightly armed APC is also likely to be much cheaper than an IFV and will have moe room for the infantry.

 Tanknet > Anybody else see that AFV collector?
One of the collectors was a Texan who has his own fleet of over 30 AFVs and other military vehicles.
Ive not heard anything about this in any of the British miltary vehicle magazines.Besides, I cant see how the Police could do it, not only in many cases are they obsolete ammunition and therefore exempt, but it would mean cutting up a lot of museum pieces.
I really have no idea what the laws are on driving tracked AFVs on the road in the States, but I'd guess they differ from one jurisdiction to another.

In the field, AFV crews use this method to raise roadwheels up off the track surfaces so that they may be replaced.
Most photos of Gulf war AFV’s do not show the level of wear I have depicted.
One thing about an AFV with all those side bins is that it probably would not have a lot of external stowage.

 Wireless for the Warrior. Larkspur Harness 'B' (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
This harness was principally for the control of one or two sets, very flexible, variable in content and layout, and at the time the most common harness in use.
The Junction Box Three Set 'J3', was developed exclusively for use in the Armoured Personnel Carrier FV 432, which enables three sets to work in one harness using standard Wireless Control Harness type 'B' components.
A second Junction Box Three Set 'J3' was normally fitted at the rear of the vehicle, enabling the Infantry commander to stand at the rear of the APC and still retain all his communication facilities.

The distances that AFV’s can move are based on their cross country speed.
When moving in poor or bad terrain, or trying to cross a linear obstacle such as a hedge fence or wall units and individual roll terrain penalties.
The values are as far as possible compatible with those in the companion WW 2 set although some have been reduce by a point or two.

 Armed Forces - a5a10 - British Army - The Infantry - MCV 80 Fv 510 (Warrior)
Warrior is an armoured infantry fighting vehicle (AIFV) that replaced the AFV 432 in the armoured infantry battalions.
Current thinking suggests that the British Army may replace existing rifle platoon Warrior with the improved Warrior 2000.
This would release existing Warrior to be refitted to fulfil roles currently carried out by ageing and obsolescent FV 432s.

There are currently three funded vehicle programmes which will replace role vehicles currently provided by the 430 series.

The vehicles on display on the day I was there were an M60, an FV 432, a HVSS Sherman, a T-59, a Jagdpanzer and 2 Ferret Mk2's (one live one dead).
Normally a Chieftain is used, but the M60 had to run in it's place as the British Army had borrowed the Chieftain, quite why I don't know.
One interesting part of the design is the large single piece engine hatch; this is raised by inserting a handle into a jacking mechanism at the rear of the vehicle.

I know the conversion kit was not widely used, but I understand that at least recovery 432 was used on Salisbury Plain, and on that particular vehicle the earth spade was carried on the vehicle front.

From Chris in England comes the following article on one of the several operators who provide a supervised AFV driving experience.
The majority were on a "on demand" basis and despite the advertising didn't include an actual tank, most were APC's such as Fv 432's or Fv 434's.
I did contact Tanks-A-Lot and was given their schedule for the summer months, unfortunately the only date they were active in July was 3 days after we left England.

 New Armoured Vehicles for British Army - Military Photos
Having just listened to defence questions, it appears that – contrary to my earlier report - the MoD is NOT buying RG-31s.
Defence secretary Des Browne announced he was sending 70 up-armoured FV 432s, and 100 "Cougars", procured "through US military sources".
My confusion about the "Cougars" arises from the fact that the name is used informally for the RG-31s and the price range cited would not have covered the larger vehicle also used by the US Marine Corps, also called the Cougar, used by bomb disposal officers.
