Default 1954 Canadian Ferret for sale in New Mexico, USA



Post-war yes, but affordable Canadian armour ... but there not enough Ford Lynxs, Otters, Foxes, Staghounds. M8s and C15TAs around.

I have put it on my web site as a service, but I am not connected with the seller. Seller has a possible buyer in the USA but would like to see it come back to Canada. I already have one (54-82598).

This ferret is 54-82524 and served with the Lord Strathcona Horse until sold surplus. The owner found some white paint on it under the green so it it is very likely it was with UNEF (1) in the Sinai 1957. Only two of the 23 Ferrets used there have been ideitified so far, one above and one below this CAR / CFR so it is very possible. His has no white paint at the front leading me sot suspect it MAY have been one of the two that hit landmines - which would require fresh paint aong other things.

Ex-Canadian Ferrets are actually rare for purchase in Canada. Most of those here are in museums, are monuments or are shot up. Most surplus Cdn Ferrets went to buyers in the USA.
