In May and June 1940, the Headquarters 1st Armoured Division with the British Expeditionary Force in France were mounted in mild steel prototype and wooden mock-up armoured command vehicles, but later in the year the first armoured steel armoured command vehicles were produced by Guy Motors on their Lizard 4x4 chassis.[1] Twenty-one units were produced,[2] and by early 1941 some were issued to the Headquarters, 7th Armoured Division in the North African Campaign as well as some formations within the United Kingdom.[1] Guy was unable to continue production so a new design was prepared based on the AEC Matador, which became the AEC armoured command vehicle.[1]
