Quite a few Ferrets in collections in this country. Our 4/19th POW (Prince of Wales) Light Horse had a shit load of them in days gone by. When the 1st APC Squadron appeared and the M113s were on strength, the Ferrets were sent to Reserve units, then eventually disposed of. It was with great difficulty I managed to do a course on one of them, as I'm over 6' 2" tall and weighed in at about 220lbs. Hard bastards to get in and out of.

Yep Ive heard they were a bit cramped; but I suppose the counter to that is that they are more easily maneuverable in tighter places. I toyed with the thought of one and a Saladin for awhile; but after feeding and repairing a Land Rover, I decided it wasnt the best choice; after all there arent that many Rolls Royce dealers around when you need spare parts.....
OTOH it is just about the coolest 4 wheeled armored vehicle youre likely to find forsale.
And it gets about the same MPG as alot of trucks. If I ahd one I'd deffinately consider swapping the dummy 30 cal for a nice semi auto M1919.
I hear about 4MPG. I'll keep my Toyota, thank you very much.
Very nice! When I was a kid, paging through my Big Book of Armored Vehicles, that was on my short list of vehicles that I would like to own someday. Thanks for the cool pics!

This winter there was one parked at a hotel in my area. I read up on them and read that they were particulary loud in the interior and hot.
