Found: I'd like a Daimler Ferret Please

[Patrick B]

Hi everyone. Im excited to say that my brother and i are proud new owners of a 1961 MK2/3 Daimler ferret. 00DC75.
I was hoping it would stop raining for more than 10 minutes so i could pull it out of the garage to get some better pictures but this rainy BC weather is not ready to stop. sorry for the bad pictures. Its very cramped in my garage now that i have a car parked in it. time to do some organizing.
It was previously owned by Terry Witiuk, a member here and one of the friendliest, most helpful gentleman i have met.
I live in Langley BC and had to fly out to ontario to purchase this car, which was really out of my comfort zone until i met Terry.
Id like to publicly thank Terry for the huge amount of time and help he gave me while i was in ontario. we must have spent 18 hours together over the 3 days i was out there going over everything. He walked me through all the maintenance required for the car, took me for driving lessons, and even delivered everything to the shipping company for me, as well as driving it into the shipping container the following day when it arrived.
Terry went above and beyond anything i could have expected from anyone.
By the end of my trip i felt like i had just been on vacation visiting a friend.
A true gentleman.

Terry if you end up reading this, thankyou very much for everything.

Cheers
Patrick B

Patrick. Thanks for the kind words and I must say, it has been my pleasure. The experience of passing along the Ferret to the two of you has been and continues to be a great and rewarding experience. Ever since first communicating with you last fall, it certainly has felt like the two of you were the rights folks to carry on with caring for 00DC75. From what you’ve shared with me when you were here, sounds like there’s a great group of MV enthusiasts out there that have welcomed the two of you into their group. This will make ownership of 00DC75 a more rewarding experience. Enjoy their friendship and comradery! I know that we’ll stay in touch and I look forward to reading more about your experiences of MV ownership.
Cheers, Terry.
