For Sale: Ferret Scout Car - Restored Mk1


Restored Ferret Scout Recon Light Armoured Vehicle - Mk I

Rescued from a country shed, this ferret has had extensive cosmetic restoration. All that was removable was pulled apart and then thoroughly processed until it looked as new. While we only have the word of the farmer who owned them as to mechanical working condition being “good”, he did advise that it had a brake problem.

The ferret (except for the smoke launchers) appears complete. It stands on car jacks in a specially constructed shed and has been on exhibit there for the past 8 years (with batteries removed). The engine is cranked by hand regularly to ensure eventual start and compression seems fine. Sold AS IS, we recommend inspection by a qualified mechanic.

This ferret is currently being auctioned on ebay: Ferret ebay listing

This Ferret is one of a collection of five Ferret Scout Recon Cars. Three of the other Ferret cars are also fully restored (one Mk I and two Mk IIs). There is also a semi-restored Ferret and collection of thousands of fully catalogued, original Rolls Royce Ferret Scout spare parts that are being sold as separate lots. Refer to other posts here for more details.

The owner is an Australian military vehicle collector who is selling his lifetime (and much loved) collection due to illness.

Condition: This Scout is being sold "as is" and as described.

Inspection: The collection is based in Adelaide, South Australia and any inspection is very welcome.

Information: The owner can be contacted directly for any questions (by phone or email). Additional photos can be forwarded (just send us an email). Any questions are welcome.

Shipping: The purchaser is responsible for removal, shipping arrangements, insurance and any associated costs.

Our Code: "Ferret B"
