The Otter Light Reconnaissance Car was a light armored vehicle produced by General Motors Canada during World War II for Great Britain and the Commonwealth. The Otter was based on the Chevrolet C15 Canadian Military Pattern truck chassis and used many standard GM components. The armament consisted of a Boys hull anti-tank rifle and a Bren light machine gun in a small open turret. From 1942 to 1945, 1,761 units were produced in Oshawa, Ontario. The Otter served with Canadian units in the Italian campaign and operations in Northwestern Europe. It was also used by Polish, Czechoslovakian and South African units, as well as an RAF regiment.
