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.

The first Staghound rolled off the production line at Chevrolet's factory in October 1942 but by the year's end under two hundred had been completed. At this time the United States Special Armoured Vehicle Board decided that the United States Army didn't need an armoured car of the size of the Staghound and decided to adopt the lighter M8 Greyhound vehicle instead. All production went to Britain and a total of 2,687 vehicles were produced and delivered by the end of December 1943. A thousand anti-aircraft versions of the staghound were also requested but only 789 were delivered by the time production was stoped in April 1944.
