Roll for Vehicle Damage

[Ken]

Does the unmodified roll of 1 always always fails to damage rule apply to Assaults on vehicles ?
Assaulted an open top armored car 7+ armor, got 6 hits, rolled a 1 to damage.
Thought it was blown up since it was open top, local rules guru said that a 1 fails to damage.
Friendly game so not worried about it but want to know if it applies to Assaults.
Rulebook is not clear if this applies to just shooting as it is not referenced in the close assault against vehicles section.

[Stuart Harrison]

There are no exceptions to the ‘natural 1 is a fail’.

You need a successful roll to damage to destroy a soft skin or open-topped armoured vehicle in close quarters, all the automatic bit does is skip the damage results charts once you’ve achieved that successful roll to damage.
