This table below shows all 124 Ferret Scout Cars that were purchased by Canada. The are listed by Canadian Army Registration Number (CAR) which about 1970 (after the armed forces were integrated) was changed to Canadian Forces Registration Number (CFR). They were all Mark I (i.e. no turret) and were all made in 1954 by Daimler in England.
One Mk. II, with turret, shows up in Canadian markings in Cyprus, but is believed to be a vehicle on loan from the British while a Canadian Ferret was in the British workshop in Cyprus.
The table is long and wide and you may scroll to the right to see more columns of information.
My apologies as I am having trouble transferring data into this table. Some of it ended up in the wrong fields. I am gradually adding photos.
The information is as accurate as possible, but I welcome corrections and additions.
Numbers are NOT sequential so one cannot extrapolate to determine a missing number. Vehicles sometimes were selected and unnumbered in sequence, but more often not. As well, Australia was being supplied at the same time as Canada, and there were not solid blocks of numbers allocated. In other words, one Ferret could go to Canada and the next one to Australia.

This Ferret was in camouflage colours when the CWM obtained it. The vehicle was repainted for CWM in white with UNEF RCEME markings for display.The CWM has the correct UNEF UN decal on the front right fender but the other markings are unusual. (see top photo on this page for normal paint scheme). MWO Ross Pettit wrote on 2008-03-11 ” I rebuilt that FSC [Ferret Scout Car] when I was posted in Trenton. I painted exactly from a picture of a ferret crossing a sand dune in Egypt. So it is painted correctly according to the picture.” This vehicle also has the later modification for the Browning 1919A4 (not used when the vehicles were white) which replaced the Bren Gun and a much later model antenna base. Probably by coincidence, this vehicle actually served in UNEF. | Canadian War Museum, Ottawa, Ontario. | |

79 | 54-82578 | UNKNOWN | UNKNOWN | Petawawa | DPSL ? | 1976 | Sold. Burned in a hanger fire at Petawawa“burnt in Petawawa mid 70’s? Duty Cpl must have missed checking the hanger that weekend ;). Black as a coal mine in the hanger Mon morn. …I have some pics of the Ferret after they hauled it out back. … (some are in rough shape, got wet before I could scan them)” “I was posted to Petawawa fall 74 until spring 78. … Quality of the pics is poor, but you can see the steel belts, all that’s left of the tires.I remember it took a week or so to clean the hanger. “ “I guess if they sold that Ferret, it would have been sold by the pound :). The final word was it had an electrical short sometime on the weekend, and the duty Cpl missed the hanger on his weekend rounds. We found it Monday morning. No other vehicles went up with it, though lots of cleaning needed on others. The Centurion was the last one the regiment had, I think its the one on display in front of the 8CH barracks (might be RCD now) in Petawawa. An old REME (‘Burpy” Heinz) kept the centurion running (parts snuck up from Gagetown) until Ottawa found out we had it running. It sat there parked until after I left for Germany. The only veh destroyed in the fire was the Ferret. I think the part to the right in the last photo was the side bin (escape hatch/spare tire carrier) with an ammo box on top. I think they wanted to scavenge some parts, but not much left. Anyway, I hope this helps with your research. ………….Rob” Photos and story courtesy of Tpr SMITH, RS 8 CH (PL) 2007 Nov. 27 Now of Courtice, Ont. | SCRAPPED | ||||

Old Combat Arms School (CFB Gagetown, New Brunswick) Several CAS decals (2 designs, and large and small of later pattern) found under paint, as well as colour Canada Flag decals front ant rear, and Mobile Command decal was on starboard front. Also found on the front glacis (slope) down on dark green semi-gloss paint is what appears to be shipping information to “25 CANADIAN FORCES SUPPLY DEPOT 6363 NOTRE DAME ST. MONTREAL QUE. CANADA” This paint however appears to be Canadian, not the British factory colour. Was this Ferret sandblasted and rebuilt way back in its service? Could it have been UN white at some point? Usually the army simply painted over old markings and paint jobs, but what did they do for white UN Ferrets? Were they painted over or were some or all sandblasted?Traded by the LdSH to Crown Surplus for a T-16 Universal Carrier. Sold by Crown Surplus to Bob Carter, who then sold it to Colin Stevens. WD # 36 BA 66 54-82592 CAPRI also had tower lights but had antenna mount stbd rear and different camo pattern. Gord Cumming of Crown Surplus Stores in Calgary kept it as his last one. ____ of Mill Bay, BC bought it. He was an ex-Ferret crew member. Colin Stevens bought it from him. Sold to ___ of Emdonton. He removed and dispoed of the smoke dischargers. Sold to ___ of Edmonton. // This is possibly my old Ferret, 54-82598. It is with LdSH(RC) in Calgary, and has two features rarely found on Cdn Ferrets. As in photo, 598 has the first aid box on the right rear upper hull and the late (c.1969) British “Tower” lights. The camouflage pattern does not match however. // 2005 in Crown Surplus Stores’ yard in Calgary.// 2007-04-01 //// As received by Colin Stevens, 2007 April 1. | Private owner, Edmonton, Alberta | ||
