'''Armoured Car Companies''' and '''Light Tank Companies''' of the Royal Tanks Corps, British Army
In 1920, twelve Armoured Car Companies were set up as part of the Tank Corps, (later Royal Tank Corps), absorbing units from the Machine Gun Corps; eight were later converted into independent Light Tank Companies. All disbanded before the outbreak of the Second World War. <ref>[http://www.royaltankregiment.com/en-GB/betweenthewars.aspx Royal Tank Regiment Association: ] ''Between the Wars]''.

By 1936 most armoured cars in service in India had been replaced by light tanks and the cars were distributed to volunteer forces in India and neighbouring countries.<ref name=Roth> [http://homepages.force9.net/rothwell/burmaweb/ArmdCarBAF.htm Armoured Car Section, BAF [Burma Auxiliary Force<nowiki>]</nowiki>] from Steve Rothwell’s [http://homepages.force9.net/rothwell/burmaweb/index.htm The Burma Campaign]</ref>
