Bit Of A Ferret

Bob Moseley (RIP) · #1 06-07-08, 13:46

Hi all - whilst hunting around for a Lee turret for a mate, I came across this. The middle section of a Ferret Scout Car. This came about through constant advertising on our local radio station's Radio Classified program. I just keep asking for a tank turret much to the announcer's amusement. Now, next Saturday I can say Na Na Na Na Ya. However I , or rather my mate, still needs a Lee turret. Anybody interested in this Ferret bit, PM me and I'll forward the owner's details. It is located near to me so I could pick it up and store it.

Looks a bit like a 1/2 ferret hull I know of locally (owner has asked that I do not divulge where).

Are you sure that the rest of the ferret is not buried under it?

Do you mean me or bob? In the case of the one I saw, it's a 1/2 because of the parts of the hull that have been cut off!!

For my own part I looking for any Carrier or Tank Hulls to buy (except Stuarts)

cheers!

Sold to an instantaneous response. That's the only way to get the goodies.

Treadhead - there are plenty of Carriers around in various conditions. Depends what you want and what you want to spend.

I'm after a Carrier such as the one in the image (but with tracks), A Carrier modified with the Differential mounted on the front would be better.

It's not for a Carrier restoration back to an original state, this is for quite a different project & I'm loath to cut a complete or near complete Carrier, There are already too few vehicles of historic significance.

As for price, I'm open.
cheers

For the record, the project I have in mind for a Carrier Chassis, is NOT for a Panzer I, Panzer II or a Vickers, Nor for a US, French, Italian, Russian or Japanese vehicle.
cheers.
