As usual very kind, and rarely seen material. The vehicule sems to be a larger than , for example, an Rolls Royce armored car.- I wonder if anyone can provide thew dimensions,so that I could try to draw a plan based on this photos.- Thank You again, Best regards. EDUARDO

Belgium placed a large order for armoured cars to Sheffield Simplex in 1915. The first batch was refused as inadequate. One armoured car was however kept in Belgian service until around 1925. Very similar to those shown, but not identical. Turret not kept in 1925.
All Sheffield-Simplex and Army-Motor-Lorries armoured cars have appeared very bad on quality (the bad armour, the weak motor and weak chassis). Russian Military Ministry recognised them not suitable for war and at the front they were not, were used as educational cars in Petrograd in the Spare armour-automobile company. There were plans to reconstruct them for the railway. Only during revolution of 1917 them began to apply in patrol of a city and in Civil war in fights, but it is not enough. It were the most bad armoured-cars in Russia.
