The Humber Mk IV was the final and most advanced version of the Humber armoured car, a British vehicle that served in various roles during the Second World War. The Humber armoured car was based on the chassis of the Karrier KT 4 artillery tractor and the armoured body of the Guy armoured car, which was produced in limited numbers by another manufacturer. The Humber armoured car was designed to perform reconnaissance missions and support infantry operations with its firepower and mobility.
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.
Humber Mk IV je video akciju na raznim ratištima, uključujući Severnu Afriku, Italiju, Francusku, Belgiju, Nemačku i Burmu. Koristile su ga britanske snage i snage Komonvelta, kao i neke druge savezničke zemlje kao što su Poljska i Jugoslavija. Humber Mk IV se pokazao kao pouzdan i svestran oklopni automobil, sposoban da angažuje neprijateljske tenkove, pešadiju i meke mete. Takođe je dobro izveden u različitim terenima i vremenskim uslovima, zahvaljujući svom sistemu pogona na sva četiri točka i suspenzije. Humber Mk IV je ostao u službi do kraja rata i šire, sa nekim jedinicama koje se koriste od strane posleratnih policijskih snaga i jedinica protivvazdušne odbrane.
