Daimler Mk 1 A/C

Armed with a 2lb high velocity  gun and Besa machine gun, the Daimler first saw action in North Africa with the 11th Hussars.  It was widely used in North West Europe, Italy and North Africa .  Produced  from 1942 onwards the vehicle was  reliable and  manoeuvrable  and well liked by its crews, once causing a near mutiny within a reconnaissance unit in Italy when the Daimlers  were going  to be  replaced with Staghounds. For the sake of  unit morale the Daimlers were retained.
