So I am still considering what depth of restoration I should do. Some are quite in depth ....some more superficial.

It's so original. I mean it has no electronic ignition, no replaceable oil filter kit. It even came with a box of the original oil filter cloth inserts. I think they called them diapers. I also got the drivers windshield insert and what I believe to be a C42 radio tray. They did add a battery kill switch which I forgot to turn off and a few hours later the battery was dead. I used my ferret slave cable to fire it up.

In 1971 my buddy Glen Hynes and I spent our March break from high school on coarse being trained on the Ferrets at Camp Petawawa with the 8th Hussars. Turns out that the 9 ferret's the Ontario Regiment Museum got where from warehouse in Petawawa and records show that 506 was with the 8th Hussars when it's service life ended. Small world!

So several days ago he and I (42 years later) were driving around the back roads in what could be the same Ferret we once worked on and drove. Ok well there is probably about a 20% chance....who knows...lol. This ferret did come out of a warehouse in Petawawa about 1982.

Here's an in-service pic with what appears to be the 8th Hussars (cap badge)
