Developed in 1949 as a replacement for the Dingo, Daimler's Ferret was adopted by the British Army and a number of Commonwealth forces as a tough and rugged armoured reconnaissance vehicle. Powered by a 4.5-litre Rolls-Royce B60 six-cylinder petrol engine driving through a 5-speed pre-select Wilson epicyclic gearbox, the Mk 1 debuted in 1952 whilst the final versions remained in production up to 1971. A versatile performer, the fast and strong Ferret is capable of speeds approaching 60mph. This Mk 2/3 example comes complete with a de-activated Browning 0.30 calibre machine gun in the turret and smoke dischargers present. The vehicle is accompanied by a dating certificate from the Tank Museum, a firearm de-activation certificate, Swansea V5 and declaration of MoT exemption. Previously featured on the front cover of Classic Military Vehicle magazine (copy on file) it is sure to turn heads and command respect wherever it goes.
