A larger version designed on the same layout as the Dingo fitted with the turret similar to that of the Mark VII 'Tetrarch' Light Tank and a more powerful engine.

[2] Like the scout car, it incorporated some of the most advanced design concepts of the time and is considered one of the best British armoured fighting vehicles of the Second World War.

The 95 hp engine was at the rear linked through a fluid flywheel to a Wilson preselector gearbox and then a H-drive arrangement with prop-shafts to each wheel.

Four wheel steering similar to early models of the scout car was considered but not implemented following experience with the Dingo.

[3][4] To improve the gun performance, some Daimlers in the European theatre had their 2-pounders fitted with the Littlejohn adaptor, which worked on the squeeze bore principle.

[6] In the early sixties, Humbers and Daimlers of the Indian Army formed the mounts of the President's Bodyguard and were deployed in the defense of Chushul during the 1962 Sino-Indian War.
