The BGV1 (British General Vehicle Type 1), also known as the Light Six 20-30, was produced in 1926 in response to the British War Office's requirement issued in 1925 for a light six wheel chassis with 20-30 cwt payload. It was powered by the 4 cylinder 2388 cc engine introduced in 1922 in the 14hp car. It was supplied to the British Army and Royal Air Force.

In 1927 the chassis was revised rising up behind the driving position and the designation was changed to BGV2.

Chassis numbers were in either the 25xxx range.

A Kegresse half track version was also made with chassis numbers in the series 60151-60195
