  1. For sale. Daimler Ferret 1962 Mk2/3. £21000. 00353 85 141 8588.

    This is an exceptional example with no money spared in it's restoration. It was stripped down to it's bare hull and completely rebuilt by CombatCars. The engine was rebuilt by Dan Daly Engines and it had an out of the crate new gearbox, generator, starter, radiator, oil cooler, carb,etc fitted. The hubs and bevel boxes were stripped down, components replaced where necessary, re-shimmed and rebuilt. Steering box, drop arms and ball joints were all renewed/ rebuilt. New shocks, springs and turret barrings, the list is endless.

     

     

     

    There are hundreds of pictures that documented it's restoration a lot of witch can be seen in the Combatcars facebook page in the photo album section.

    It also has had extensive research done on its history with several in-service pictures and a link to a grim but interesting past.

     

     

    The Ferret is located in Ireland and shipping can be arranged at an extra cost.

  2. I started work on the seats what seems like an age ago, so it was nice to leave the locker doors for a while and make up the two front bottoms. I wish I had the right tool to press the cross into them. If anyone lifts up my seat cushions at a show there getting a slap 1f642.png

  3. Not an easy job! The tank has to come forward into the fighting compartment, then twist it out the top. You will need to remove the Turret, gearbox covers, air filter, gearbox stays(behind the Battery boxes) both battery boxes,battery leads and the power distribution box. Don't remove the fuel filter as I find it handy to grip when lifting the tank out. Don't forget to remove the sender/float unit and filler neck.
