History
The British developed a number of Scout cars by adding armoured bodies to existing chassis - such as the Humber Light Reconnaissance Car - or the purpose-built Daimler Dingo. In comparison to British armoured cars they carried no more armament than a single light machine gun and were generally turretless. Their duties were fast reconnaissance and liaison work. The Dingo remained in use until replaced by the Ferret, also by Daimler, in the 1950s.
