Can anyone ID this armored car?
« on: December 07, 2011, 08:10:55 PM »
This thing was parked outside my mechanics shop. Apparently his friend need a place to store it.

I think it's a British Ferret.

It's apparently street legal, albiet with lapsed registration. That would be fun to drive down the road

Pretty confident it is Brit, not certain of details beyond that. When I was running around the desert in M60A3s and M1A1s we did a fare bit of armor identification. I know I've ID'd it before, just can't place it. If needed I could run through my old gear, find the cards and nail it for you. Let me know.

Looks like you're correct that it's a British Ferret scout car.

I was about to say Badger lol  Thanks Ack Ack.

I just remember seeing one in the short lived tv show "Full Metal Challenge" hosted by the one and only Henry Rollins.
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.
