Descrizione

The Daimler Ferret, often encountered as Mk. II, Model B, epitomises British postwar reconnaissance design: compact, nimble, and lightly armoured. Built for scouting, liaison, and internal security duties, the Ferret's small footprint and excellent cross-country mobility made it ideal for rapid observation and patrol tasks. Its hull provided protection against small arms and shell splinters while keeping weight low for agility. The Ferret typically carried a crew of two to four, with provisions for a pintle-mounted machine gun for self-defence and observation duties. Internally the layout emphasised visibility and communications equipment, enabling commanders and scouts to observe, report, and withdraw quickly. The Ferret combined a simple, easy-to-maintain chassis and drivetrain with independent suspension to handle rough terrain.

Entering service with the British Army in 1958, this Daimler Ferret Scout Car was originally registered OO CC 496 and powered by the Rolls-Royce B60 engine. Although the date of its military retirement is unknown, it was first registered for civilian use in November 2000, when it was issued with the age-appropriate registration number PSL 384 and a V5 registration document. The current owner has enjoyed the vehicle for over twenty years and used it for pub trips, road trips and everything in between. It has seen relatively little use in more recent times, as our vendor has found living with the Ferret increasingly challenging with age, so the time has come for this rather distinctive military vehicle to find a new custodian.

Repainted in the correct period Army green and black livery, the Ferret appears to retain much of its original equipment and is fitted with a deactivated 30-inch Browning machine gun mounted in the turret. The storage bins contain the vehicle's special tools, together with jacks and a wheel wrench, while a working internal intercom system is also fitted. An interesting opportunity to acquire a piece of British military motoring history, this Ferret Scout Car is offered with a full set of manuals, providing a useful reference for its next owner.
