The Daimler Dingo was a light armoured car that was used by the British Army and its allies during World War II. It was designed for reconnaissance, liaison and patrol missions, and could traverse rough terrain with ease. It had a crew of two, a driver and a commander who also operated the wireless set and the Bren gun.

Powered by a 55 hp Daimler 6-cylinder petrol engine, it had a top speed of 89 km/h. The Dingo was equipped with four-wheel drive, four-wheel steering and a low-silhouette hull that offered good protection from small arms fire. It was produced in several variants, such as the Mk I, Mk II and Mk III, with minor differences in armament, equipment and performance.

The Dingo was widely used by the British Army in Europe, Africa and Asia, as well as by other Commonwealth and Allied forces. It proved to be a reliable, agile and versatile vehicle that earned the respect of its users and adversaries alike. Overall, the Dingo is a classic example of a successful military design that combined simplicity, functionality and durability.
