Mer info:

Humber Mk IV var den siste og mest avanserte versjonen av Humber panserbilen, et britisk kjøretøy som tjenestegjorde i forskjellige roller under andre verdenskrig. Humber pansrede bil var basert på chassiset til Karrier KT 4 artilleritraktor og pansrede karosseriet til Guy pansrede bil, som ble produsert i begrenset antall av en annen produsent. Humber pansrede bil ble designet for å utføre rekognoseringsoppdrag og støtte infanterioperasjoner med sin ildkraft og mobilitet.
The Humber Mk IV differed from the previous models by replacing the 15 mm Besa heavy machine gun with a US-made M5 or M6 37 mm gun, which had better anti-tank capabilities and ammunition availability. However, this also reduced the crew capacity from three to two, as the turret had to be redesigned to accommodate the larger weapon. The Humber Mk IV also had improved armour protection, especially on the front glacis plate. The Humber Mk IV was produced from 1942 to 1945, with a total of 2,000 units built.
The Humber Mk IV saw action in various theatres of war, including North Africa, Italy, France, Belgium, Germany and Burma. It was used by British and Commonwealth forces, as well as some other Allied countries such as Poland and Yugoslavia. The Humber Mk IV proved to be a reliable and versatile armoured car, capable of engaging enemy tanks, infantry and soft targets. It also performed well in different terrain and weather conditions, thanks to its four-wheel drive system and suspension. The Humber Mk IV remained in service until the end of the war and beyond, with some units being used by post-war police forces and air defence units.
