The GSR 3301 Setter is a British tier 7 light tank.
In 1964, the General Staff laid out the requirements for a new battle reconnaissance vehicle. Research and development, a full-scale prototype, and two stands for testing engineering solutions (one for testing of the cooling system, the other for testing the suspension and transmission) were finished in 1965. Further development resulted in the production of CVR(T) vehicles and their adoption into service with the British Army.
The GSR 3301 Setter leads to the LHMTV.

Historical Info
My primary reference for these vehicles is this image. This appears to be the CVR(T) prototype pictured here, which would be adopted into service under the much better known name "FV101 Scorpion".
The name comes from General Staff Requirement (GSR) 3301, which was issued in August 1964 for the Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (CVR). I have no idea where the moniker "Setter" comes from.
The CVR took two directions with the separate development of Tracked and Wheeled vehicles. These were to be highly mobile and light enough to be both air-droppable and air-transportable; this allowed for a weight of around 8 tons. Additionally, a maximum width of 2.1m was specified.
The FVRDE (Fighting Vehicle Research and Development Establishment) had been working on a next-generation of vehicles for some time, having just finished the TV 15000 test vehicle, which they used as the basis of a new vehicle to meet this requirement. This featured many innovations, such as aluminum armor and a hydropneumatic suspension. The transmission was adapted from the one used in the Chieftain tank, and reportedly its designer had a nervous breakdown trying to figure out how he had made it work. The mobility test rig was ready in 1966, with a contract for 17 prototypes being issued the following year. Trials began in 1969, with the vehicle ultimately being accepted into service in 1970.
