Cobbaton Combat Collection is the largest private military collection in the South West, with more than 60 combat vehicles, plus a variety of weapons and equipment from around the world.
This isn't a museum as such. It is a bonkers, chaotic, cluttered, eccentric, wonderful & uttlerly British collection of military vehicles and stuff, oh and they do a really nice slice of cake and a large cup of tea!

Daimler Mk1 Heavy Armoured Car
The Daimler Armoured Car was a successful British armoured car design of the Second World War that continued in service into the 1950s. It was designed for armed reconnaissance and liaison purposes. During the postwar era, it doubled as an internal security vehicle in a number of countries.
Former British Daimler armoured cars were exported to various Commonwealth of Nations member states throughout the 1950s and 1960s. In 2012, some were still being operated by the Qatari Army

The Windsor Carrier was a late-war unit produced in a single batch of 5,000 in 1944-1945 by Ford of Canada. As with the American T-16, it was designed for towing trailers and light anti-tank guns, the extra bogie wheel providing more stability than in the original carrier design.
Although it bears some similarity to the T-16 in terms of having the extra road wheel on each side, the Windsor still maintained the combination track warp/brake steering of the earlier Universals, for agility.
It was also lengthened noticeably, from the standard 144 inches overall of the Mk.II* / 155 inches overall of the T-16, to 172 inches overall. A Windsor can be readily identified at a glance by the gap between the two bogie sets on each side.
