Service Manual for the Scout Car (Dingo) – January 1942

Original WWII Service Manual for the Scout Car, Marks II & IIW/T, published in January 1942. The Scout Car is known as the Dingo. The Manual is contained within hard covers and addresses all aspect of maintenance and servicing with 148 pages of text and diagrams, some of which are in the fold out format and coloured. Overall condition is very good with all pages in place.

The Dingo was a compact two-man armoured car, well protected for its size with 1.2 in (30 mm) of armour at the front and powered by a 2.5 litre 55 hp (41 kW) straight six petrol engine in the rear of the vehicle. An ingenious feature of the Dingo’s design was the transmission, which included a preselector gearbox and fluid flywheel that gave five speeds in both directions, another was a four-wheel steering system made possible by the H-drive drive train, giving a tight turning circle of 23 ft (7.0 m). Inexperienced drivers found it difficult to control so rear steering was deleted in later production at the cost of increasing the turning circle by 65 per cent to 38 ft (12 m).

A rare Manual and a must for the Dingo owner.
