The Morris CS9 was a light armoured car that was developed by Morris Commercial Cars, a subsidiary of Morris Motors, in 1936. It was based on the Morris C9 4×2 truck chassis and had a riveted hull with an open-topped turret. The turret was armed with either a Boys anti-tank rifle, a Bren light machine gun or a Vickers heavy machine gun. The vehicle also had a smoke grenade launcher and a radio set.
The Morris CS9 entered service with the British Army in 1939 and saw action in the Battle of France and the North African Campaign. It had good mobility on soft sand when fitted with desert tyres, but its armour and armament were inadequate against enemy tanks and anti-tank guns. The vehicle was retired from service by 1943 and some were captured and used by German and Italian forces.
The Morris CS9 was one of the first British armoured cars to be designed for modern warfare and paved the way for more advanced models such as the Daimler Dingo and Humber Scout Car.
