The Motor Scout was the world’s first armored petrol engine powered vehicle. It was designed and constructed by British innovator F.R. Simms in 1898.
He achieved this by constructing a hold for a mark IV maxim machine gun just over the front wheels of the quadricycle.
The quadricycle was powered by Simms’ one and half horsepower automatic petrol motor.
