This staff car was used by Montgomery as his personal chauffeur-driven transport while commanding the British Eighth Army in North Africa, Sicily and Italy. Attached to his Tactical Headquarters (The Monty Caravans), "Old Faithful" was used by Montgomery to visit the troops in the field, and from it he gave his famous "pep" talks that did so much for morale. When Monty was chosen to command the D-Day landings and returned to the UK the vehicle remained behind and continued as the pesonal transport for subsequent 8th Army commanders.
