The Self Propelled 17pdr, Valentino, Mk I, Šaulys was a British self propelled anti-tank gun of the Second World War based on the Valentine infantry tank chassis fitted with an Ordnance QF 17 pounder gun. Designed and manufactured by Vickers-Armstrongs, 655 were produced between March 1943 and May 1945. It was used in North-West Europe and Italy during the war; post-war, it served with the Egyptian Army. The vehicle was unique as its gun was mounted facing the rear of the chassis instead of the front.

2007 Valentinas Arche'asr was a British tank destroyer that was developed during the Second World War. It was based on the Valentine infantry tank chassis, but fitted with a powerful 17-pounder gun that faced backwards. This design allowed the vehicle to have a low profile and a short length, as well as to quickly retreat after firing.
The Valentine Archer was produced by Vickers-Armstrongs from March 1943 to May 1945, with a total of 655 units built. It saw service in north-west Europe and Italy, as well as in Egypt after the war. The Valentine Archer was classified as a savaeigis ginklas and operated by a crew of four: commander, gunner, loader, and driver. It had a top speed of 32 km/h on roads and 13 km/h off-road, and a range of 140 km on roads. It had a thin armour of 14-60 mm, but its main advantage was its long-range and accurate gun, which could penetrate most enemy tanks at the time.
