The vehicle being offered, T17E2 Staghound Armored Car (anti-aircraft version), serial number unknown, is a very rare vehicle that needs a complete restoration inside and out. It is a late production vehicle with round-sided turret. Many interior components are present. All hatches and doors function normally. Out of the 1,000 T17E2's built, this vehicle is the best looking of two or three known survivors. The others were last seen 6- to 7-years ago rotting away somewhere in the jungles of India.

The T17E2 was produced at the request of the British who requested an anti-aircraft version of the standard T17E1 Staghound armored car. The British-designed Fraser-Nash turret was installed in place of the fully armored gun turret of the T17E1. The new turret was equipped with two M2 .50-caliber machine guns and could traverse 55- to 60-degrees per second. Due to the space that the new turret took up, the bow gunner's position was eliminated to make room for the British No. 19 radio set. Two turret versions were used on the T17E2, early production with a flat sided, all welded turret and a late production one with a turret with rounded sides. It is not known when the change in turret fabrication took place.

Production of the T17E2 started in October 1943. 1,000 were produced by the time production ended in April 1944. The entire production run was allocated to the British Army who named them Staghound AA.
