侦察车福特Mk.1，也被称为山猫，是英国戴姆勒野狗装甲车的加拿大变体。它由福特加拿大公司于1942年至1945年在安大略省温莎生产。Lynx的设计与Dingo相似，但进行了一些修改以适应当地的生产和条件。山猫使用福特V8发动机和变速箱，这给了它更多的动力，但也使它比Dingo更高更重。悬架也不太复杂，转向仅在前轮上。
The Lynx had a crew of two and was armed with a Bren light machine gun or a Boys anti-tank rifle. It was used for reconnaissance and liaison duties by British Commonwealth and allied forces in various theatres of war, including North Africa, Italy, Northwest Europe and Southeast Asia. The Lynx was a reliable and agile vehicle that could traverse rough terrain and reach speeds of up to 55 mph (89 km/h). It had a range of 200 miles (320 km) on its two fuel tanks. The Lynx had a welded steel hull with sloped armour plates that offered protection against small arms fire and shrapnel. The front armour was 30 mm thick and the sides were 12 mm thick. The Lynx had four hatches on the roof for the driver and the commander/gunner. The Lynx was one of the most widely produced armoured cars of World War II, with 3,255 units built.
