Vehicle History
- This vehicle was produced during 1941 but no wartime history is known. In 1956 it underwent an extensive rebuild at E.C. McCann at Hamworthy, Poole, Dorset. The turret is from the Mk1 Saracen rather than the Ferret. There were over twenty vehicles armoured in this way for the Malaysian Conflict, however there are only three known surviving examples: one at the Malaysian Army Museum, Kuala Lumpur, another in the North of England and this example.
