The ferret is a scout car. For use to scout out and find the enemy positions. It has a rolls royce built engine. Like all engines it needs maintenance. Do not down grade these i have been whith them when they were driven 750 miles south into the Sahara and 750 miles back to barracks. No problems.
Drove and commanded these when serving in a Armoured reconnaissance Regiment, we had them in the Malaysian jungle in thr 60's always great fun to drive and nice to know they have the speed and agility to get you out of trouble during a contact! Particularly good in the desert with the proper tyres on. Didn't notice if you depressed the GCP 6 times in each gear to tighten the break bands! Good luck with your Ferret, i envy you 👍
The last time I saw one of these in action was in Cyprus not long after the Turks invaded. It was guarding the perimeter road around Episcopi Garrison in the south, not far from Pathos. I think the Green Howard’s was the regiment there at that time, may be wrong though. Fabulous little buggers they were (the Ferret not the G. Howards).
Cool, Ferret was used in 25 wars, including war in Ukraine. Im pretty sure i have seen one of those in London, like preserved in front of some building. Greetings from Finland
Nice example but sounds like a few problems with the engine (which is petrol, not diesel), only firing on 5 maybe. Needs a good blast and a proper warm up, also need to get the engine start cable control working, like a choke but different. The hand throttle would help with warming up if that's working. Get the user manual for the start procedure, otherwise the gearbox will be worn out soon.
That is a nice example :) Clansman radio and intercom set with Clansman era mounts but the Larkspur external 'ledge' on the back left of the superstructure. Rolls Royce PETROL inline 6 cylinder engine. Just over 4 litres. They were designed as scout cars but have been used for various other tasks including tank hunters and rebroadcast vehicles to maintain radio nets. They have been used all over the world and converted to suit whatever they were needed for . Sometimes using diesel engines, recoilless rifles, ZSU anti aircraft guns etc, It's not an automatic although it can be classed as one. It's a Wilson Pre Selective gearbox. Select your gear first *then* depress the pedal and bring it back up. There is at least one in Ukraine, however I doubt it is effective since the parts are scarce as are the skills to maintain and use it there.
Yes. The thinking being, if you are being shot at with something bigger, then you have failed at being stealthy. Everything is a compromise. It's fast, light and quiet but it's not intended to to go toe to toe with heavy fire. Armour thickness changed depending on which Mark of ferret you were in. The tyres are run flats and were claimed to still be drivable after taking hits from 30 cal fire. If the Soviet Union had invaded Europe, the estimated operational lifetime of a ferret unit at the beginning was around 15 minutes, just long enough to radio back what was happening and give an estimate of enemy numbers.

They are GREAT fun to drive, aren't they. Especially over rough ground. LOVE that pre select

When you leave the Ferret parked up for a long time select first gear and release the GCP to relieve pressure on the main gearbox busbar spring.
Not a diesel but a rolls B60 inline petrol engine 😉👍
Totally Cool!! I know You & Tommy had a blast!!!
Oh yeah!

Very cool
Greeting friend! Welcome to our channel
Gasoline, not diesel. 😉
Very rare to see such a complete one over there must of cost the owner a fair price to get all that kit on it as well
Plenty of clansman and P58 kit in that. Properly nice

yep scrolled down comments to see if anyone else noticed the same, deffo only firing on 5 cylinders. love ferrets restored four over the years.

Looks cool then you see the bell end with a gun in his jeans
Very good "Off Road Vehicle" 😊
Indeed it is!
Mind those hatches. Take your fingers off.
Shrapnel and small arms fire protection only?
