joeferret Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 After 2 years of ownership I noticed another ID tag on my 1954 Ferret MK1....When I removed the hood to the engine compartment I noticed it....It is just above the engine area in the middle facing upwards...Between the 2 rear hatch windows...I will try to print out the information as it appears on the tag: Cailayl ltd 6 63 403 409 FV 59468 310718 Scrubs ?????? Eden N.W.10 Hard to read some of it.... Can anyone tell me anything about this please ? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfire Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 So is it on the petrol tank or the hull? It sounds like a rather unremarkable part number (FV59468) identifier, possibly with a serial number and some other information on it.

Cheers, Terry On the gas tank...What intrigues me is the 63....I am wondering if the Canadian Army put a new gas tank in in 1963 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Terry I don't know if your aware of the Ferret website on Face Book but last week a guy from Australia was trying to find other people in the country with Ferrets....

Starfire Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I am aware of the Facebook group, but I don't own a Ferret. Also, their intention was to try and start a Ferret owner's club, which I don't support, as it would make more sense for them to join existing military vehicle clubs in their area than to start a new one.
