After a series of successful light armoured reconnaissance and liaison vehicles, the Ferret Scout Car saw widespread military service from the 1950s right up to the Gulf War in 1990. The Ferret was designed with stealth in mind, able to probe enemy positions. This four-wheel drive vehicle was powered by a reliable 6-cylinder Rolls Royce engine which proved extremely useful if the crew found themselves in a tight spot.
