Rolls Royce ACs ? Strange turret!
Permalink   


What kind of ACs are these?

Looks like Rolls Royce but the turret looks unusual.

Description says:

"Palestine events. The 1929 riots, August 23 to 31. British armoured cars "standing to" during the outbreak. At the Russian buildings" 

Best Regards

Oirob,

They are "Armoured-Car, Rolls-Royce, 1924 Pattern, Mark I". 

This is how they are officially designated in a 1933 copy of an "Instruction Book" I have  for these cars.   The book is signed "Cpl. E.S. Himpton 318867, 11th Hussars, P.A.O. Egypt 1936."

It seems that a number of these cars were also deployed in China(Shanghai?), but I'm not completely sure.
