Hey all.

I am looking for info/photos of the AEC "Dorchester" 4x4 Armored Command Vehicle(ACV).

I've done the "google" thing and I've come up with some stuff, but not as much as I would like. I'm really interested in getting line drawings and photos, specifically interior and exterior detail shots.

Anyone have any or knows where I can find some, please contact me direct at [email protected] .

Thanks in Advance.

In my search for info, I've found out about at least two preserved/restored vehicles in the UK: one at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford and the other at the Royal Signals Museum in Blandford. However, I've only found a small handful of pics online of those vehicles.

Anyone know of anymore?

Thanks to all those who helped me in my quest. I'm pretty squared away with Dorcester stuff for now.

With that being said, if someone has some interior photos or vehicle measurements , I'm definitely interested in seeing those.
