Sliabh na mBan, first called Slievenamon, is a 1920 Pattern Rolls-Royce armoured car that entered Irish National Army service in 1922 as ARR 2, one of thirteen supplied by Britain. It escorted Michael Collins on 22 August 1922 and was beside him when he was killed at Beal na Blath. The IRA captured it in December 1922 and used it at Ballymakeera before the army recovered it. After retirement a Curragh workshop foreman, Paddy Lynch, saved it by listing it as scrap, and it was restored in 2011. It is now among the oldest fully operational Rolls-Royce armoured cars.
