Based on the Humber Super Snipe chassis and engine, the Rootes Group produced the Humber LRC (light reconnaissance car) from 1940 to 1943. This British armoured car had a distinctive design and a reliable performance. It had a three-man crew, consisting of a driver, a commander and a gunner.
The primary armament consisted of a Boys anti-tank rifle mounted in the front of the hull and a Bren light machine gun in a turret on the roof. Additionally, it also had a smoke discharger and a No. 19 radio set. The Humber LRC had a maximum speed of 75 mph on road and an operational range of 110 miles.
British and the Czechoslovak forces employed it in various theatres of the Second World War, such as Tunisia, Italy and Western Europe. The Humber LRC performed liaison and escort duties in addition to fulfilling a recon role. RAF Regiments also used the Humber LRC for airfield defence.
The “Special Ironside Saloons” were basically a VIP version of some vehicles, with a door on the passenger side and a luxurious interior. They modified these vehicles to suit the needs of the VIPs. The Humber light reconnaissance car had four variants: the Mk I, which had an open-topped hull and 4×2 drive; the Mk II, which had an enclosed roof and 4×2 drive; the Mk III, which had 4×4 drive; and the Mk IIIA, which had additional vision ports at the front angles of the hull.
