FV101 Scorpion. Small Scout Tank, excellent one. Armed with a 76 mm cannon and a 7.62 machinegun, is one of the faster tanks ever built (able to reach 80 kms/h!!!!) . And is so light that was the unique tank transported to Malvinas in 1982 by the British Task Force (remember that the islands are basically a spoonge) , where was quite used in the last battles of the war altought was really few of them (30 if i remember well). Was used in the liberation of Kuwait of 1991 in great numbers.
Still is used by several countries, including our neighboors Bolivia and Chile. The United Kingdom retired it in 1994, around 3.000 was built
