Originally designed for the South African Army, the Marmon-Herrington was a conglomeration of an American design, Canadian built chassis & engine and British-supplied armaments.

The MKI was used exclusively by the South African Union Defence Force while the MkIII, depicted here, was also used by the British and Free French in North Africa. It was the first true four-wheeled drove armoured car in the Commonwealth forces.

2,63o MkIIIs were produced.

The 6-ton vehicle had a crew of four; driver, co-driver/radio operator, gunner, co-gunner/mechanic. It was variously armed with a 0.5inch Boys anti-tank rifle, 2 .303 Vickers machine guns or 2 Bren guns.
