The Ferret was designed in 1949 as a replacement for the old generation of light scout cars and was manufactured between '52 and '71 by Daimler. Some models are still in use today with various Commonwealth forces.
Originally designed with a small turret carrying one machine gun, the design has evolved into over 6o different variants, including the Swingfire missile turret. The Swingfire was a wire guided anti-tank missile that was in use up until the mid 90s.
Poor thing...
One of the doors is missing and the entire insides have been gutted.
