woa2 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 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. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted angus Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 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.

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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
