B. Mills Nova Scotia Ex-Dartmouth, NS  Ex-BRITISH Ferret number   02 DA 87 Manufactured 1961 as a Mk 2/3. Its in perfect shape, all complete and a very good runner, Starts every time and drives like it should! ... This one has approx 2300 miles on the clock, as best as I can tell it was in West Berlin for most of its life, at least that's where it last served. Last overhaul by a REME depot was in 1981 in West Berlin.
