Armored Cars (and one CMP) from South Africa

[Matthew P]

I just returned from a work trip that took me amongst other places to Johannesburg, South Africa. There the South African National Museum of Military History has a fine collection of South African used equipment. As South Africa did not have it's own armaments manufacturing base until WW2 many of the vehicles came from other Commonwealth nations. During WW2 a great deal of equipment apparently came from Canada. First up is a 1930's Crossley armored car that in 1940 was refitted to a Ford of Canada chassis. Next is a domestically produced wartime armored car, but again is on a Canadian imported chassis. Finally a Lynx II and last a CMP. I decided against making another seperate soft skin forum thread just on the one vehicle. Enjoy.
