ferret

Hi,

The seals are leaking on both front outer tracta joints of my Ferret.

Who is the best source for the seals?

Is anybody in the South Yorkshire area willing to give me a hand fitting the seals?

I am more than happy to pay for your time etc.

Any help appreciated.

Regards Chris

Lightweight,

That book sounds like First Light by Geoffrey Wellum!

Its an amazing book. It is one of the best ww2 autobiography's I have read.

They learned very quickly.

Hi,

I have 2 flasks in mine, but only because the brackets(holders) were there to carry them.

I believe they also had an electric boiling vessel, but have never seen one of these for sale!

Does anybody have one of the boiling vessels?

Chris

Reflecting back your probably right Lee Enfield, there were some others around at the time but were expensive £7k plus.

Also the day I advertised, CMV March ed came out with a full spread on the merits of Ferrets.

The other factors maybe that there isn't that much for sale up this way (the north).

I sold this one earlier this year, It looks better than it is because I took the time to wash it, and take a good photo! It was bear in the fighting compartment. No MG mount bins etc. I paid £3100 sold £5100 after 2 weeks.

Its all about presentation!

Ive sold worse than that for £5k

HI Folks,

There are a couple of very cheap Ferrets on Milweb! A Mk 1 and Mk1/2, both on £3250. They are situated in the south! If they were up north I would buy both, definitely some profit in them.

I know some people on here have stated they would like a Ferret! I doubt you see many at this price.

When I test my 1937 BSA M21, the guy has a look round it, sounds the horn, then puts down that he as road tested it. We then have a nice cup of tea, so that the necessary time as elapsed for the computer. :-D

I claim exemption for the Ferret! I did approach a couple of local garages regarding MOT and they didn't seem too keen.

Chris

Hi,

When I phoned VOSA about an MOT for my Ferret I was told I could make the declaration for exemption, but that the vehicle would be limited to 40 mph.

As anybody else heard this

This is a great forum, to be honest I don't post much! I just like to sit back and see what others are saying.

keep up the good work.

Cheers Chris

Hi Fred,

I had a similar problem to this, I checked the batteries and 1 cell was down.

replaced battery no more problems.

There was a jeep as well that was advertised and sold before.

Both vehicles were classified ads, and very low prices. also sellers have 0 feedback. In fact this one only joined ebay today!

as anybody else come across these vehicles?

Chris

Hi Rick,

Hi,

It means you can cock the weapon and when you pull the trigger it will click, most weapons deactivated after 1995 will not work at all.

I have a post 95 Stirling that as been completley butchered so the slide just moves back and forth.

Brens are different post 95 still dry fire because of the nature of operation.

Hi,

My Ferret appears in series 2 of the league of gentleman, can't remember if its episode 5 or 6. It is a Mk 2/3 but the previous owner used to lift the turret off and fit Mk 1 conversion for a change! so in the the series it is a Mk 1.

It also features on page 49 of Pat Wares book Ferret in British Army Service (VYJ 763).

It is now painted sand and green.

Apparently there is a photo of the Ferret in service, but I don't know which book, if anybody knows please let me know, the military reg is 00 DC 03.

Regards Chris

Hi,

I bought a Sterling for my Ferret last year, from Ryton Arms

http://www.rytonarms.co.uk/shop/shop.php

They have some Stens in stock for £130 these are a cheaper option to the Sterling but still look good in the rack.

Hope this helps regards Chris

Thanks for the advice, think I will try to remove without removing engine :-)and see how I get on. Cheers chris
