The Daimler Armoured Car was a British heavy armoured car from World War II. The first prototypes were built in 1939, and serial production lasted from 1941 to 1945. In total, about 2,700 units of this vehicle were built. The Daimler Armoured Car was powered by a 95 hp Daimler 27 engine. The basic armament of the vehicle consisted of a single 40 mm 2-pounder cannon and one 7.92 mm Besa machine gun and one 7.7 mm Bren machine gun. The Daimler Armoured Car was based on the Dingo reconnaissance vehicle, but compared to its original, it was larger and had much stronger armament located in a turret adapted from the Tetrarch tank. The delay in the vehicle's serial production (it did not enter it until 1941) was due to problems with the drive. During production, four main development versions were created. The first – designated as Mk. I – was of course the first production series. The next version was Mk. II, which entered production in 1942. It had a modified gun shield and an escape hatch for the driver. The third variant was designated CS and was equipped with a 76.2 mm howitzer. In total, only a few to a dozen units of this version were produced. The fourth version was the Daimler Armoured Car Command or SOD, which was a regimental command vehicle and did not have a turret. The vehicle was used in North Africa and Western Europe, only marginal quantities reached the Far East. The Daimler Armoured Car underwent its baptism of fire during the North African campaign (1941-1943). Vehicles of this type were also delivered to the Canadian Army, Australian units and the Polish Armed Forces in the West (PSZ). After the end of World War II, Daimler Armoured Cars continued to serve during the Korean War (1950-1953) and were finally withdrawn from service with the British Army in the 1960s.
