"By 1939, most Lanchesters (13 Mk I; 1 Mk IA; 5 Mk II; and 3 Mk IIA) were sent to the Far East and assigned to the Selangor and Perak battalions of Federated Malay States Volunteer Force, the Singapore Volunteer Corps, Straits Settlements Volunteer Force and the 2nd battalion of Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders in Malay, some of which took part in the Malayan Campaign (December 1941 – 15 February 1942) against Japan…."
From Wiki
10 Lanchesters were given to the Territorial Army (23rd London Armoured Car Company and 1st Derbyshire Yeomanry) and in 1940 one was converted to provide protected transportation for use by Cabinet ministers and other VIPs. In 1941 two were given to the 1st Belgian armoured cars squadron.

I am confused. The vehicle pictured is a Great War armored car -- Royal Naval Air Service. The text is all about a second world war vehicle. Did the vehicle in the picture serve in the second war, but with different markings? |

The version that saw service in Malaya is a very different beast altogether:

The confusion is caused by Wiki text about WWII Lanchesters being applied to an article about building a WWI Lanchester. The two do not belong together. Very nice job on the model though. |
