1761 Otters were manufactured in Canada from 1942. The Otter was built on the Chevrolet C15A 4 x 4 chassis but was powered by the GM 270 cubic inch engine.
It successfully served in the reconnaissance role and for anti-aircraft defence of road convoys. The Otter was armed with a Boys anti tank rifle and .303" Bren gun in an anti-aircraft mount although it could also be used in the ground role. A 4" smoke discharger was also fitted.
