The AEC armoured car, based on the AEC Matador lorry chassis, was developed initially as a private venture and shown to officials in 1941 during the Horse Guards Parade in London, where it made a favourable impression on Churchill. AEC's goal was to build an armoured car with firepower and protection comparable to those of contemporary tanks. The first version carried a Valentine Mk II turret with a 2 pdr gun, and subsequent versions received more powerful armament, either a 6 pdr or a 75mm gun. The vehicle also carried two machine guns. The Mk I was first used in combat in the North African campaign late in 1942, where a few vehicles were reportedly fitted with a Crusader tank turret mounting a 6 pdr gun. The Mk II / Mk III took part in the fighting in Europe with British and Indian units, often together with the Staghound.
