Ferret Armored Scout Car

Following World War II the British MoD began looking for a light, armored reconnaissance vehicle. They selected the Ferret, based on the Daimler Dingo used by British Commonwealth countries in WW II.

Daimler (a U.K. company) built the Ferret from the early 1950s to the early 1970s, although they remain in service around the world and were used by U.K forces as late at the Gulf War in the 1990s. The Ferret had many variants during its production life time. A total of about 4,400 were built.
