You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

During the [[First World War]], sixteen American [[Peerless Motor Company|Peerless]] trucks were modified by the [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland|British]] to serve as [[Armored car (military)|armoured cars]]. These were relatively primitive designs with open backs, armed with a Pom-pom gun and a machine gun, and were delivered to the British Army in 1915. They were used also by the [[Imperial Russian Army]] as self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.

After the war, a new design was needed to replace armoured cars that had been worn out. As a result, the '''Peerless Armoured Car''' design was developed in 1919. It was based on the chassis of the Peerless three-tonne lorry, with an armoured body built by the [[Austin Motor Company]].

The Peerless lorry was a relatively slow and heavy vehicle but was reckoned to be tough, with solid rubber tyres and rear-wheel chain drive. The armour for the vehicle produced by the Austin company was based on an [[Austin Armoured Car|earlier design created for the Russian Army]], which had been used in very limited numbers at the end of the war in France. The original Austin design, however, was shorter than the Peerless and the resulting combination was awkward and difficult to steer in confined spaces. In order to reduce the problem, a duplicate set of driving controls was installed at the rear of the vehicle.

The most common variant was a twin-turret design fitted with two machine guns. However, a number of other variants were developed, including a vehicle armed with a ((convert|3|in|mm|adj=on)) gun and an anti-aircraft variant armed with a [[QF 13-pounder 6 cwt AA gun|13-pound 6cwt AA gun]].

[[File:Armoured Car, Passage West, Cork (6652701421).jpg|thumb|left|A Peerless armoured car in action in an urban setting in County Cork during the Irish Civil War, 1922]]
Poor off-road performance hampered the vehicle but it still saw considerable service, notably in [[Ireland]]. A few were still in service with the British at the start of the [[Second World War]]. Seven were in service with the [[Irish National Army]] during the [[Irish Civil War]] and used by the [[Irish Defence Forces]] up until 1932. The type was not popular in Irish service. One was taken to [[Cork City]] on board the ((SS|Arvonian)) as part of the sea-borne landing force but took a long time to unload. The car was reliable, but slow, heavy, unstable, and unsuitable for poor roads - effectively meaning that its deployment by the Irish military was almost exclusively restricted to urban areas. In 1935, four Irish Peerless armoured hulls were mounted on modified [[Leyland Terrier]] 6x4 chassis. A year later their twin turrets were replaced by a single [[Strv L-60|Landsverk L60]] tank turret. This new vehicle was known as the [[Leyland Armoured Car]] and remained in Irish service until the early 1980s. The 14 old Irish Peerless turrets with their Hotchkiss machine guns were fitted in 1940 to 14 Irish-built vehicles and designated the [[Ford Mk V Armoured Car]].<ref>Karl Martin, Irish Army Vehicles, Transport & Armour Since 1922, Karl Martin 2002.</ref>
