Lanchester 6x4 armoured car 0725-week-4 some were diverted to supportThis large armoured car was designed and built in the late 1920s and so was due for retirement when the war broke out. By this time most of them had been deployed to the Far East, though a handful remained in Africa. It was a reliable and popular vehicle with good performance on both roads and cross country. Its only real drawbacks were its large size and outdated design, it's principal service was 1939 to 1941. Models supplied unassembled and
