question Fordson based Rolls Royce Armoured cars

[woa2]

Can anyone help or point me in the right direction, please?

 

I am trying to get some information on Rolls Royce Armoured cars that were fitted to Fordson chassis in late 1930s/early 1940s.

1. Anyone any idea of what Ford chassis was used and what engine powered it? Any other technical details?

2. Where were these built? I can find references to Iraq conflict only.

3. Who built them?

4. Were they only RAF used?

 

Any help appreciated.

They were built by Thomas Cook in Cairo for the RAF. It was just for No 2 Arm Car Company. The then-World's number one travel company they had fleets of vehicles in the Middle East and full vehicle workshop facilities to support them. I think it was mid 1940.

Thanks for that. I had heard somewhere they were made in Cairo, but didn't know who by. Anyone know what the engine was in the Fordsons? 6 or V8?
