AEC Mk1 Armoured Car United Kingdom (1941) Heavy armoured car – 629 built
Most armoured cars during WWII only performed reconnaissance mission, and were light models armed with machine guns. There were examples of vehicles armed with a gun, not only in Great Britain, but also in the USA and USSR. The Daimler Armoured Car, for example, was given the standard QF 2-pounder (40 mm/1.57 in), the Humber had a US-built 37 mm (1.46 in), as did M8 Greyhound, Staghound and other US-supplied models. That is not to speak of the Soviet BA-3 to BA-11 series, armed with BT/T-26 tank turrets. But no other armoured car used during WWII was armed (and armoured) so heavily as the AEC Armoured Car. The Mark III fielded the ROQF 75 mm (2.95 in) gun, which was also fitted on the Cromwell and Churchill. http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/ww2/gb/AEC_Armoured_Car.php
