The Bedford OXA was a British heavy improvised armoured car, produced during the Second World War. It was developed by mounting an armoured body onto a Bedford OXD 30 hundredweight (1.5 ton) truck chassis, armed with a Boys anti-tank rifle. Its official designation was Lorry 30cwt Anti-Tank. A total of 948 units were built in 1940 to 1941. The vehicle was used by regular British Army units in 1940 and by British Home Guard units until 1942. It is related to other improvised armoured vehicles such as the Armadillo, the Bison concrete armoured lorry and the Standard Beaverette.
