Armoured Car Names

Dear All,
I am currently serving as OC B Flt, 34 Sqn RAF Regt at Basrah COB, Iraq. Since our deployment in August, the Sqn has been the first RAF Regt Sqn to be equipped with the new Mastiff Armoured Vehicle. You will have undoubtably seen these monsters on the news; a half way point between the Snatch Armoured Landrover and a Tank! I have recently been discussing with the other Flt Cdrs on the Sqn and to a lesser extent the boss about naming our new vehicles after the original Rolls Royce armoured cars of 1 & 2 ACC. I\'m sure we will receive no end of stick from 1 and II Sqn RAF Regt, but it really does seem fitting. Any help you could provide us with in getting a list of the original names would be most welcome.
Thanks
Alex Watson
