Developed by extensively upgrading two prototype M1931 Christie tanks purchased by the British Army in 1936. The vehicle was designed to be a fast, lightly-armored breakthrough tank. The modified design was deemed successful and became the basis for other cruiser tanks. Sixty-five vehicles of this type were built and saw combat in France and North Africa in 1940 and 1941.
