I might need a part secured until shipping can be arranged. Thanks.

It was most certainly not a 1976 model as the production ceased in 1962.

If what is the jeep in the book? The photos posted from Vietnam? That's not even the same poster, let alone the author....

All Canadian Ferrets are Mk I, with no turret.

Very cool

No, there were never any Ferrets in Vietnam, Aussie or otherwise. That was the joke of it all.

very good point.
