Canadian Army Daimler Ferret - first project!

[Neil Smith]

I realized that this could either go in the restoration forum or in this forum but decided that as these pictures are pre the strip down and restoration this is probably the appropriate forum.

Anyway, this is my first military vehicle and I thought I'd show a few snapshots of it taken where I found it.

It remained there untouched until I bought it this year and brought it down to Florida. It now resides in my garage and I'm starting to strip it down so that all the major sytems can be inspected, renewed and then put back into operation. I've decided on a 1970's time period as I have been sent a picture of my Ferret in service in Germany in the 1970 time period. Any help on original paint scheme or comments on the appropriate equipment are much appreciated. Here it is:
