Notes | The Coventry was put into production in 1944 but due to the continued production of the Daimler and Humber the total was low, those that did serve overseas arrived too late to see any action. In 1946 the French required armoured cars to garrison their escadrones in Indochina and bought as many Coventry armoured cars as they could, these saw action in patrolling and convoy protection missions. |
