That's a pretty cool looking rig, especially in its stripped-down air sled version!
Does LSV stand for Land Snow Vehicle?

Thanks Dave. I don’t actually know what L.S.V. stands for. The vehicle is built for going though Swamps.

Back in the day , these were revamped into some cool looking vehicles , particularly the SAS tan version . I remember seeing them with loads of added cool kit and armament , along with some great looking SAS dudes . I think this could be classed as a MAM legend ! Nice to be reminded of it every now and then .

If as Alex says, it's meant for swamps then LSV stands for Low Speed Vehicle, ....very popular in the swamps and bayous in the southern states of the US. The lower gearing allows for greater traction in such wet, boggy areas. Notice the high mounted engine to keep it out of the water? Although I have no idea just what you are going to shoot with such massive armament. Seems a bit over-the-top for 'gators?
I think perhaps they are hybridising it with a Light Strike Vehicle, ....which makes more sense with that gun.

Thank you very much LeStryge for telling us what LSV stands for and what giving us more information on swamps, very interesting your information was.

I really think it's more like one of these that Chip mentions in his post. This is known as a Light Strike Vehicle, (LSV), which makes sense of the big gun....but it has no rear fan propeller as MAM's has, which would suggest its use as a swamp vehicle.
