Tog 1 they don't. The only Cavalier tank I'm aware of is one in rather poor condition on the isle of weight. They've got a FV4211 turret but not a hull. They have got a Rotatrailer. We have already got a lot of photos from the museum: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Tanks_in_the_Bovin

Such as: - Tiger 131 (which could be notable by itself) - Rotatrailer - the Sherman Crab - the FV4211 (first vehicle fitted with Chobham armour) All a bit niche but very interesting to those of us who are interested in such things... Richard Symonds Wikimedia UK 0207 065 0992 Wikime
