  1. what sort of condition vehicle would that get you? useable? or in need of spannering checked with footman james and insurance would indeed be £101 comp, which is amazing. So major expense would be doing the cat C test. Though I could get one and store it in the yard in the interim and drool over it
  2. What sort of price is cheap? what sort of location in the country? Am I right in presuming it drives more like a normal vehicle with a clutch ect? does engine parts extend to the transmission as well, so it'd be possible to keep it running just not 100% authentic? thank you for reply, this is very quick , knowledgeable forum edit: looking into it due to annoying licence laws i'd have to do my cat C to be able to drive it on the road, annoying but doable also they are tempting because it may savisfy the armour bug while being cheaper and slightly more practical to drive then a ferret
  3. Hi Further to the ferret thread humber pigs have been brought to my attention so couple of questions about these: -They appear to have the same engine as the ferret, is the rest of the transmission similar? is it also a pre select box? -being a young un I presume i'd need to take another test to drive them due to the weight? -I presume they sell a bit cheaper then a ferret? are parts availability good? thank you
  4. They confused me with saying 'need' CES kit, were as when I googled it, it seemed to be odds and sods of tools ect. If a vehicle is direct ex army does it need to undergo some sort of SVA, IVA test to be reqistered on the road and get a Q plate? at least with there being some around there is no need to rush into a decision
  5. ah good lead that, though it says they need CES kit?
  6. whats the craic in terms of road tax and mot? i presume because less then 7.5 tonnes it can be driven on a car licence? oh also whats the current going rate of a running but maybe not immaculate one? thankyou for all the answers
  7. aye it was the 2/3 i'm pondering. I'm not allowed a motorcycle due to nearly killing myself and have always been interested in armour and a wheeled vehicle is a tad more useable then a 432. Unfortunalty the advert doesnt really say much about the vehicle. though i'm more interested in mechanical soundness then show condition
  8. thank you for your replies sounds promising so far so does it have some sort of automatic clutch? what happens at junctions? you hold it on the brake? anyone know the ebay one?
  9. Hi Apologies if this is a re post, I searched for ferret ownership threads and no joy. Does anyone know the ferret on e bay currently? few questions about ferret ownership... -How often do owners here tend to drive them? other then at shows -whats the insurance tend to be like and who with? -what are they like to drive? complicated controls? bad brakes? -How often do they go wrong? If they do is there a good manual and source of parts for them? thankyou
