Greetings Pekka,

 

Can I suggest you post your questions on Maple Leaf Up also? If you are not already a member then perhaps I can post them for you as there are delays in memberships.

 

Please tell us more on how your Canadian Ferret made it to Finland.

 

You will likely be able to buy the oil tank from the UK easier than from here, but I have one that I could sell if you cant find one in the UK.

 

I also know Colin, and my lady and I own 2 Canadian Ferrets. I have threads on here.

 

Look forward to your posts and pictures of your vehicles

 

Regards

 

Robin

Hi Pekka

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

I think I have your hull number on record for your May 1959 ferret. If you could confirm the number I might be able to help in finding Military registration number, or at least narrow down your search.

 

Cheers

 

Matt
