The Morris CS9 Light Armoured Car was a British armoured car used by the British Army in the Second World War, built on the chassis of the Morris Commercial C9 4x2 15 cwt truck. A riveted hull carried an open-topped two-man armoured basket with no roof, armed with either a Boys anti-tank rifle and a Bren light machine gun or a 12.7 mm Vickers heavy machine gun, plus a smoke grenade discharger and a No. 19 radio set. The prototype was tested in 1936 and 99 more cars were delivered in 1938. Thirty-eight served with the 12th Royal Lancers in the Battle of France and were all lost, and thirty went to the 11th Hussars in North Africa.
