The Guy Armoured Car[a] was a British armoured car produced in limited numbers during Second World War. The car saw limited action during the Battle of France.
The manufacturer had insufficient capacity for production of the armoured car alongside their artillery tractors, so the design and construction techniques were passed to Rootes and used as a basis for the Humber Armoured Car.[2][3]
