.JPG)
Specifications
| Country of Origin/Used by: | South Africa |
| First Produced/Service Dates: | 1939 |
| Manufactured by: | Chassis: Ford; Armored Body: ISCOR; Final Assembly: Dorman Long |
| Crew: | 3? |
| Armament: | Turret: (1) Vickers .303 Machine Gun; Left Hull: (1) Vickers .303 MG. |
| Engine: | 8 Cylinder Gasoline |
| Miscellaneous: | Very similar to the
Marmon-Herrington Mark
2 ARC.
The main difference
between them is that the Mark
1 only had 2-Wheel
(4x2) drive capability rather than 4x4,
as the Mark 2. * The official name of this vehicle is actually "South African Reconnaissance, Car Mark I". The "Marmon-Herrington" name was not official, although most sources use this reference. To stay consistent, we are doing the same. Incidentally, "Marmon-Herrington" only applies to the American company that built the 4x4 drive system used on subsequent models. |
