How to write a name for a military vehicle correctly is always a problem. Officially this vehicle was called 'Armoured Car, Daimler Mk.II'. Many armies don't use the maker's name at all: for example the 'Willys MB' is simply a '¼ ton truck, 4x4'. Army classification is a bit different to the civil (and our) system. To keep it in the same shape I will use the 'naming convention' I used for the Ferret. I will use inverted kommas for nicknames only. After the war the British Army used -- as far as I know -- official names at least on some models (like Ferret, Chieftain, Centurion, etc.). If someone knows better, please let me know. -- Last edit: 2005-10-29 12:32:40
