History and use of the vehicle

The DAC Mk.II was a British armoured car designed on the basis of the Chevrolet 4x2 Canadian Military Pattern (CMP) truck, produced in Canada and adapted for the realities of combat in the deserts of North Africa. It was used mainly by British Army and Commonwealth units during the North African campaign from 1941 to 1943. It became especially famous within the ranks of the elite Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) and Special Air Service (SAS), who used the mobility and durability of the DAC Mk.II for deep reconnaissance and sabotage raids behind enemy lines.
