Historical Background

The Rolls-Royce Armoured Car was developed during World War I as a fast reconnaissance and patrol vehicle. First introduced in 1914, it featured the chassis of a civilian Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, reinforced with armoured plating and a roof-mounted turret. Renowned for its reliability, maneuverability, and comfort for the crew, the car served in various theatres, including the deserts of the Middle East and across Europe. Post-WWI, the design was updated to the Pattern 1920, further improving its performance and protective capabilities. It remained in service with the British Army well into the interwar period, leaving an indelible mark on the evolution of armoured warfare. By incorporating this detailing kit, you can capture the legendary features of the Rolls-Royce Armoured Car and honor its historical significance with precise and realistic detailing.
