The 14hp engine was used in a range of commercial and military vehicles introduced in 1925. Originally the wheelbase was 10 feet 5 inches (3175mm) but the military versions were supplied as 9 feet (2743mm) or 12 feet 11 inches (3937mm). From 1927 the civilian versions were shortened to 9 feet.

The chassis was also used for staff cars for the Indian Army.

Chassis numbers were in the 25xxx range. At least one Martel one-man tank was built on the chassis.

The total number made is not known but over 50 ambulances were sold. There are no known survivors.
