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.

[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.

[5] Daimlers were used by the territorial units of the British Army until the 1960s, outlasting their planned replacement, the Coventry armoured car.

[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.
