Yes it's British! It's a Ferret MKII Scout car with a machine gun turret
-
The little scout car is a Daimler Ferret mk 1/2,powered by a Rolls Royce B60 6 cylinder petrol engine with a 5 speed preselect gear box that you can use in both forward and reverse just by moving a lever. Other interesting thing is the steering wheel is inverted,mounted below the front armour facing down. I used to own a mk2/3 with a rotating turret,went like a rocket propelled go cart! Hope that helps. Oh and the American Scout cars are Whites with a Herculse petrol engine,

If I were a tad closer, I'd have one of those Scout Cars...
-
If the carryall is sound... good floor and good back doors... It is a keeper!
-
That old Army Ambulance is an old converted Civil Defense Vehicle from the 50's.
-
Very cool and enjoyable video. If a person had the time and resources, that Rescue vehicle or Ambulance would be a great outback camper conversion.

They are all Dodge. The 1st one is a carry all, the 3rd is a M43 ambulance version of the M37. The 2nd is 6x6 is a WC62 1.5 ton. I have a cab with complete front clip and hood for it. The pickup is the 1/4 ton. Correct on the Scout Car m3a1. The motor is a Hercules 320cui. The armored rig I think is called a Ferret. Should be a gas engine. The yellow 6x6 is a CCKW.

I wouldn’t mind that British scout vehicle.
-
@7 mins: It's a Ferret scout car. British or some other Commonwealth country. We used them in Canada right up into the 70s. Not a tank, though.

The armoured car at 6.50 is a Ferret scout car from the 50's. There are some armoured glass windows and an episcope in the rear of the 'rescue' ambulance veh, these may be for the Ferret. It looks like a Mk2 with the pintle mount for a .30. If you pull the registration mark from it you can apply for a print out of its service life. If the registration mark is illegible it should be on a plate inside, it will read as two numbers, two letters, two numbers.

Interested in the ferret. How do I contact them?
-
The good old Ferret Armoured Car. This vehicle was my bread and butter while serving in BAOR (British Army of the Rhine) as Troop Commanders driver. Petrol engine and up to 50mph on the road. .30 MG in the turret.
-
3:29 I could smell it when you open the door!
-
Are those vehicles Open Season, or what? I can get them running if you need a Mechanic.
-
It's a MK 1/2 Ferret, c May 1962. Be interesting to see it's Hull plate.
-
The Dodge vehicles use a flat head 6 cylinder engine. The M43 ambulance would be a nice one to keep.
-
3:13 see the civil defense decal on the passenger door. Obviously intended as an ambulance, I wonder what CAVAS stood for?
-
I'm pretty sure that one is a British Fox Not sure the year or purpose But they're really neat looking
-
The British armoured car is a Daimler Ferret late 50 s to 70s it has a multi fuel engine may be a series 1 or 2 either way quite rare your side of the pond ,it looks like an early one,the first dodge is a military carryall which is rare and worth a deal of money restored,I wish Icould afford to import it to England rare as hens teeth over here upwards of £30 thousand pounds done nice ,love the vlog more strength to you brother …regards Gunner
