What was the LAV Mulroney said he was flogging?

According to the former prime minister's website (see last document at following link) it was the private initiative Thyssen Henschel TH 495 MICV (mechanized infantry combat vehicle).

Here's one of the three pictures--towards the bottom--I can find of it; the others are here and here. As far as I can determine the vehicle never went into production. If anyone has more info, do provide it please. Since it seems never to have sold, no wonder Thyssen was pressing hard in Canada.

A knowledgeable friend of mine has commented:

It looks like a sort of Marder lite sans the firing ports (beloved of the PzGr generals who dictated MICV designs in the 60s and 70s...)

The CF clearly did not want to buy the vehicle; the Bundeswehr had no need for it. Not to stray into past politics too far, it does rather stretch credulity, for any number of reasons, that our former prime minister could have any belief that such a Canadian-manufactured vehicle could be sold to the Chinese, Russians, French or Americans--all manufacturers of their own such vehicles. Perhaps there was some so far undisclosed plan to have these UN Security Council members push for some so far undisclosed plan to have the vehicles bought on behalf of some then unformed (and not formed since) equipment park for future UN peacekeeping forces. Stranger things...
