Reconnaissance vehicle developed as a replacement for the Daimler Dingo used during World War II. Specifications for the new vehicle were issued by the British Ministry of Defence in 1947.
The following year the contract was awarded to Daimler with its Ferret vehicle. A prototype was produced in 1949 and, after military trials, serial production began in 1950 and ran until 1971. A total of 4,409 vehicles of all versions were produced.
The driver of the vehicle sits in the front of the hull, the commander in the rear of the vehicle. On the left side of the hull a spare wheel is attached, on the opposite side there is an emergency exit. The Ferret is not equipped with night vision and filter ventilation systems.

An ARV (Armoured Recovery Vehicle) version of the FV701 Ferret was also considered as one of the possible variants of the FV701 Ferret. The project has not progressed beyond the stage of a test prototype - although curiously, the vehicle carries full markings.
