Marmon-Herrington
Armoured Reconnaissance Car Mark 2
Specifications
| Country of Origin/Used by: | Union of South Africa |
| First Produced/Service Dates: | 1939 |
| Manufactured by: | Chassis: Ford; Armored Body: ISCOR; Dorman Long: Final Assembly. |
| Crew: | 4 |
| Armament: | Turret: (1) Vickers .303 Machine Gun |
| Engine: | 8 Cylinder Petrol |
| Miscellaneous: | Very similar to the Marmon-Herrington ARC Mark 1 but had all wheel drive capability rather than being a 4x2 vehicle. The Mark 2 was an attempt at improving the Mark 1, but it was mostly unsuccessful. Crews also found the main armament largely ineffectual and often mounted captured Italian Breda cannons or other salvaged weapons to improve firepower, sometimes removing the turret to achieve this. |
