British - Daimler Armoured Car 2-pdr Mk.2

The Daimler Armoured Car Mk.II was a British four-wheeled reconnaissance vehicle used by British and Commonwealth forces during the Second World War. Armed with a 2-pounder (40mm) gun and a coaxial 7.92mm Besa machine gun, the Daimler combined impressive firepower for its size with good mobility and a compact, heavily armoured design. The improved Mk.II featured modifications to its cooling system and other mechanical components, building upon the successful earlier model. Daimler Armoured Cars served in North Africa, Italy and Northwest Europe, carrying out reconnaissance, patrols, screening operations and infantry support. Its powerful armament and excellent cross-country performance made it one of the most capable British armoured cars of WWII, remaining in service long after the war had ended.
