The Humber family of armoured cars can be considered as a gun tractor's innards with an armoured shell on the outside. The Humber armoured car in all of its marks was produced up until the end of World War 2 and saw service with many countries into the 1960’s. All marks of the Humber armoured car were 4x4 offerings, but usually operated in rear wheel drive only unless otherwise required. The vehicle had good cross country ability due to a 90HP 6 cylinder petrol engine in addition to the optional four wheel drive. The primary role for which the Humber armoured car was used was reconnaissance and saw service in all theatres other than the Eastern front.
The Humber armoured car Mk.III was fitted with a larger turret than previous versions and this allowed for an extra crewman, the extra man was used as a dedicated radio operator and resulted in one less task for the commander to perform. The Humber armoured car Mk.III was usually armed with a 15mm BESA Cannon and Co-Axial: 7.92mm BESA machine gun; however the weaponry was sometimes replaced with dummy guns and an extra radio fitted so that it became a command/communications vehicle.
