Rolls-Royce armoured car.  'There are just two complete original survivors, one being the Tank Museum model, which has led an adventurous life. The car was issued in 1921 to the British No. 5 Armored Car Squadron and served during the Irish Civil War. In 1927 it shipped out with the company to Shanghai as part of a British League of Nations contingent to protect European nationals after conflict broke out between nationalist and communist forces. From 1929 to 1938 it served in Egypt. It returned to England the following year to participate in anti-invasion patrols along the northeast coast'.
