For 1 point, tell me the make and approximate year of this vehicle.

For an extra point, tell me why is this vehicle different?

"India Pattern" Crossley D2E2, bodied by Vickers, early 1930s. The wires are radio aerials.

Yes, I think that's correct. It's a bit more info than what I was looking for. I'll have to do a bit of research. Vickers-Crossley, and it's fitted with a long distance wireless set.

I'll just move it to the Solved section. Vickers-Crossley is correct, and it's an India Pattern armoured car. The article I got the picture from is dated 1931. I honestly don't know the difference between a D2E1 and a D2E2. Either way, 2 points for you.
