Guy Motors produced an excellent Light Tank (Wheeled) design in 1938, but did not have the facilities available for mass production. The design was passed on to Humber who used their Karrier KT4 chassis to produce the Humber MkI armoured car in 1940. However the design was revised to make production easier and this was the Humber MkII, produced from late 1941. This was an excellent armoured car with good speed and agility. Armed with a high velocity 15mm Besa cannon, the Humber MkII was considered more than a match for German and Italian armoured cars. It entered service with the IIth Hussars armoured car regiment in late 1941 and served until replaced with the Humber MkIII or Daimler MkI. Speed was 45 mph and road range was 200 miles, armour was 15mm and power was provided by a 90 bhp 6-cylinder petrol engine. About 440 vehicles were produced.
