280110 - Austin "Tilly" HP 10

A Utility Vehicle, crafted during World War Two, based on existing car designs, was produced for use by the British armed forces. As the war began, the British Army was nearing completion of its mechanisation process. A severe shortage of vehicles of all sizes was experienced, which worsened upon the Army's mobilisation. Notably, there was a scarcity of light vehicles for local liaison, communication, transport, casualty evacuation, and general utility work at the smaller unit level. While senior officers might have access to staff cars, junior officers and other ranks found motorised transport crucial in an increasingly mechanised army, where movements of dozens of miles on graded roads were common.
