Will try to make it up but can't guarantee anything.  If I don't make it.  Have fun!

Personally, I'd say if the choice was taking an classic off the road or converting it to electric.  I would choose electric.

Same for restoring a vehicle that would have gone to the scrapyard or become a donor.

I bought this beasty a couple of years ago.   Using Google translate I was able to determine the instructions but I have not been able to find out much (anything) useful about it.

Does anyone know what it is and what it was typically used for (Nope "It's a generator" and "The army" don't count )

Hope you keep well.

Hope you make a full recovery and get back to overlanding.  Is the vehicle and trailer fixable?

Definitely amazing photos.  The captions are a bit off.  But yes to the photographs.

Welcome to the forum

If you can get the resources, I'd say restore / rebuild it to an empty carcass then see if it can be added to over time to bring it to some version of life. 

Great to see the old girl being saved

I remember this on TV. 

Welcome

As a citizen of the USA, I humbly apologize for that complete lack of taste (and tact) exhibited by my countrymen.

As a feeble defense, I will offer that since our government won't see fit to allow it's citizens to buy it's surplus armor, we who enjoy such things have become a bit of a desperate bunch. 

It was done by Tanks-A-Lot in the UK  (Or at least that is the earliest pictures I could find of it)  So you're off the hook for this one.  This time

The poor thing has been up and down the UK each owner usually trying to get rid of it within a couple of months of purchase.

Yay it's still alive!

I have to admit, this would have been fun to be able to do nowadays.

If memory serves, it is as sirhc says, a drawing number.  You should find each plate has a small stamping.  I noticed them most often on the floor plates.

Hi and welcome

The steady plates for my ferret were put in a safe place last year, so safe in fact, I have no idea where they are!

I'm looking for any for sale or failing that, does anyone have the plans so I can make replacements?

Fantastic work on your ferret. Would you be able to make a replacement lid if you got the dimensions ?

Congratulations

Can anyone advise me? My Mk 2/3 Ferret was stood for 6 weeks and when I got it started the gear change pedal was solid. I pressed it somewhat and it suddenly went straight to the floor where it remains and I can get no traction at all.

 

Any advice?

 

Thanks

If you pull it back up, does it flop back down?

If you can't see any broken or seized joints, it would be worth taking the tin work off to get to the GCP lever on the top left of the gearbox (As viewed standing behind the ferret, looking forward) Check the joints there.

If no joy, try disconnecting the linkage from the bit attached to the gearbox and manipulating the gear change lever directly on the box. (This is what I ended up doing)

Hi Guy, welcome to the forum

Hi Mark, where are you from and do you have pictures of your vehicles?

Welcome in

Where are you?

Very nice

It's good to see someone doing them. I wish them every success.
