Previous releases on this British two-man light, fast, four-wheel drive
reconnaissance vehicle have seen it as used in various military roles,
particularly from WWII. It was also used by British Commonwealth and
associated foreign units during the war and by other countries
afterwards, well into the 1970s. Here we see it as deployed nearer home
by the Royal Ulster Constabulary where one of its roles was serving in
an anti-riot capacity assisting the British Army, although it was
supplied with weaponry. The RUC had an army base at Keady near Belfast
and the town was the centre of much action between the opposing factions
during The Troubles. Registered 22 ZS II, our Scout Car is decorated in
a dark green and brown camouflage scheme with dark green wheels and
chassis. A rust finish has been applied to the exhausts and the aerial
bases and aerials are black. A final detail sees the fuel cans in dark
grey with olive green strapping.
