History: Introduced in the later stages of WWII, the British 7 Ton Armoured Car Mk IV was developed to replace earlier reconnaissance vehicles that lacked the necessary firepower and protection. Armed with a 2-pounder or 6-pounder gun depending on variant, it saw service in Europe, North Africa, and other operational zones. Fast, durable, and reliable, it became a vital asset for reconnaissance regiments, supporting advances and patrolling contested areas. Its post-war use in various Commonwealth forces further cemented its place as a successful armoured car design.
