Armoured Machine-Gun Carrier, "Autocar" This armoured car was manufactured by the Autocar Company. Built on a two-ton truck chassis, the car has 5mm of armour at the front and 3mm in the rear. With its solid rubber tires and its 22-horsepower engine, it could reach speeds of 30-40 kilometres per hour on roads, but it had very limited cross-country capability. Its twin Vickers machine-guns could each spew 450 bullets a minute. Armoured Car Reference: ( visit link) See also: ( visit link) Museum Guide: ( visit link)
