My Ferret has lived most if its "life" in Germany with the Royal Engineers. Coming back from the first Gulf War it was sold to the Belgian Company "SABIEX" (Chris Muys - ed.) along with 250 other Ferrets of different marks. SABIEX thought he could fix the cars up a bit and sell them to Africa - but no one was interested. So the Ferrets stayed in Belgium stored outdoors from 1993 to 2003 when I bought mine (some are still there). It looked bad and the bins and mudguards were badly rusted, but the car was original and untouched and technically sound. It took me two years to restore it, working on and off.
I have restored it as i looked during service with 4 FD SQN RE, which is part of 7. Armoured Brigade - hence the desert rats on the hull.
01 DC 76 is now "living" with me in the town of Odense in Denmark. There are about 5 Ferrets in the country. All privately owned. The Ferret was only used by the Danish Army during UN-service on Cyprus. Ferrets were lend to us by the British. I have sent you a picture from Cyprus along with the pictures of my Ferret. Enjoy! (-and get them on your page! ;-)
