It's not THAT cool Chris.
Daimler made a DINGO armoured scout during WW2, smaller, faster, lighter, you could see out of it. We call it the "armoured E-Type" because it has the same engine - hence the speed. Engine points forwards, transmission is in front of it and interesting because it has a Wilson pre-selector gearbox which means you cant really tow start it, after which the drive goes sideways and then forwards / back in an 'H' pattern. Also a 7.5 ton bigger Armoured Car version. Worked on both, nice machines, probably not much more complex than your average armoured MV.
Compulsory Dodge content - these are about as unlike Dodges as you can get.
