Armoured Car
Four wheel drive, all round independant suspension and disc brakes. It had a 5 speed box available in forward and reverse. Capable of 60mph in the Scout car version and powered by a 100hp 4095cc six cylinder engine, inclined overhead valves, twin solex non-spillable carburettors and a dry sump lubrication. The 7 ton armoured car had epicyclic gearing within each hub because of the need of an extremely low bottom gear. Capable of climbing 1:2 gradients this was truly a remarkable vehicle
Armed with a high velocity 2lb gun and a co-axially mounted machine gun on a fully reversable turret.
