Back Story to Photo
The Canadian-built Lynx
When the demand exceeded the capacity of Daimler, Ford Canada, in Windsor Ontario, begun production of a local derivative. The “Scout Car, Ford Mk.I”, also called the “Lynx armoured car”.
Almost identical, it was one foot taller because of the Ford transmission. The Ford engine was more powerful, but both the transmission and suspension were inferior to the Dingo’s.
In all, 3255 were delivered from 1943 to 1945.
An experimental prototype was built that mounted a 6 pdr gun on the Lynx hull.
