Humber SCOUT CAR

In 1942 the Rootes group presented a light vehicle for reconnaissance missions very similar in appearance to the Daimler Dingo. It was the Humber Scout Car Mk.I, a little bigger and heavier than the previous one, although easier to build, something very appreciated in wartime. They had an unarmoured roof, and the entire vehicle was protected against small arms fire. The armament consisted of a Bren machine gun inside the hull and a second mounted on a shaft in the roof that could be fired from inside the vehicle. From 4,300 Humber Scout Car produced, almost 1,700 were Mk.1 type and were used by British, Canadian, Polish and Czech troops mainly. After WWII, other European countries also used them with very good results.
