'''Armoured Carrier, Wheeled, Indian Pattern''' ('''ACV-IP'''), known also as '''Indian Pattern Carrier''' or other similar names, was an [[Armored car (military)|armoured car]] produced in [[British India|India]] during the [[Second World War]]. It was typically armed with a [[Bren light machine gun]]. Those produced by Tata Locomotives were called "Tatanagars" after the location of the works.<ref>[http://vehicle-engineer.com/Sections/This_Issue/article.pics.asp?id=73&keyword1=Jaguar&keyword2=History&keyword3=TATA Vehicle-engineer.com] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090830194747/http://vehicle-engineer.com/Sections/This_Issue/article.pics.asp?id=73&keyword1=Jaguar&keyword2=History&keyword3=TATA |date=August 30, 2009 }}</ref> 4,655 were produced, used by Indian units in the [[South-East Asian Theatre of World War II|Far East]] and [[Mediterranean and Middle East Theatre]], typically in divisional [[reconnaissance]] regiments.

==History==
At the outbreak of the [[Second World War]], the United Kingdom was unable to meet the needs of the [[Commonwealth of Nations|Commonwealth]] for [[armoured fighting vehicle]]s. It led many Commonwealth countries to develop their own vehicles. As production of heavy armoured vehicles, such as [[tank]]s, required advanced industry which those countries lacked, most of the developed fighting vehicles were [[Armored car (military)|armoured cars]], often based on imported chassis.

In India a series of armoured vehicles was developed, known as ''Armoured Carrier, Wheeled, Indian Pattern'' or ''ACV-IP''. These vehicles used [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]] or [[General Motors Corporation|GMC]] [[Canadian Military Pattern truck|CMP truck]] chassis imported from [[Canada]]. Armoured hulls were constructed mainly by the [[Indian Railways]]. The armament typically consisted of [[Bren light machine gun]], in some variants mounted in a small turret and [[Boys anti-tank rifle]]. The [[Wireless Set No. 19|No. 19 radio set]] was carried. The vehicle was in production from 1940 until 1944, 4,655 being built.

The ACV-IP was used by Indian units in the [[South-East Asian Theatre of World War II|Far East]] and [[Mediterranean and Middle East Theatre]], typically in divisional reconnaissance regiments, as reconnaissance vehicle, personnel carrier, AA weapons carrier or [[Artillery observer|Forward Observation Officer]] vehicle.

==Variants==
