More info:

The Ferret Mk 2 is a British armoured car that was designed and built for reconnaissance purposes by the Daimler Motor Company. It is a variant of the Ferret armoured car family, which was produced between 1952 and 1971. The Ferret Mk 2 differs from the original Ferret Mk 1 by having a one-person traversable turret with a .30″ (7.62 mm) Browning machine gun, at the cost of one crew member. The Ferret Mk 2 has a four-wheel drive system with an H form drive train, which provides better traction and reduces the vehicle height. The Ferret Mk 2 is powered by a six-cylinder Rolls-Royce B60 petrol engine that delivers 130 hp (97 kW).
The Ferret Mk 2 has a maximum speed of 93 km/h and an operational range of 306 km. The Ferret Mk 2 has a light armour protection of 8-16 mm, which can withstand small arms fire and shrapnel. The Ferret Mk 2 was widely used by the British Army, the RAF Regiment and other Commonwealth countries in various conflicts, such as the Suez Crisis, the Malayan Emergency, the Aden Emergency, the Biafra War, the Dhofar Rebellion, the Portuguese Colonial War, the Lebanese Civil War, the Somali Civil War and the South African Border War.
