Description
The image above was acquired via Company of Heroes 2 using modded Girls und Panzer themed vehicle skins.
The information below is to be considered non-canon within the Girls und Panzer universe.

The information in this bio assumes an alternate universe to the common GuP universe.
This specific alternate universe I refer to as the "Sensha-Derby Universe" where the story remains canon up until the events of Der Finale but also incorporates the events of Ribbon Warrior. It does not include Shark Team as the events of Der Finale haven't occured yet by this point. The "Sensha-Derby Universe" was a concept for a GuP fanfiction I had that might still come to fruition. It's on the "Maybe" list.

Model: AEC Mk III Armored Car
Classification: Armored Car
Manufacturer: Royal Tankery Armory (1957-Present), Associated Equipment Company (1942-1943)
Armaments: QF 75mm (Primary Weapon), Bren Light Machine Gun (Secondary weapon)
Affiliations: St. Gloriana's Girls College

Royal Doulton (Sensha-Derby)
Crew
Darjeeling - Commander, Driver
Orange Pekoe - Loader
Assam - Gunner

Background
St. Gloriana has long owned a small fleet of AEC armored cars but as they are not tanks, they cannot be used in official Sensha-Do matches and nor can they be used in Tankathalon (they also weigh above the 10 ton limit for Tankathalon anyway). As such St. Gloriana largely limits them for use in practice matches and occasionally for general use provided the guns are unloaded and muzzled. Many a St. Gloriana loader and gunner has learned their roles using an AEC.

When Darjeeling learned about Sensha-Derby from Rosehip, and its permitting of armored cars, she decided to enter the derbies using an AEC she refers to as the "Royal Doulton" or simply "the Doulton" and sometimes "The Kettle." Darjeeling unusually brings her crew from the Churchill, Orange Pekoe and Assam, to ride along in the turret section of the Doulton where they help out as rear spotters for the standard races and as loader and gunner for combat races.

Sadly, Darjeeling DQed on her first race after navigating a turn too sharply, causing the car to roll onto its side, requiring a crane to shift it back onto its wheels. To help on the turns from that point forward, Assam and Pekoe load blanks into the main gun on the Doulton and fire the gun in the middle of the turn, using the recoil of the gun to help steady the car. Ordinarily this would be against the rules in standard races but as they fire blanks, it's allowed. This is referred to as a "Blank Turn" by other Sensha-Derby Racers and is sometimes necessary for top-heavier vehicles.
