TEST: Tired of Bilka bumps? So buy your own tank!

Rolls-Royce engine A Daimler Ferret is technically not a tank but a reconnaissance corvette developed by English Daimler, which is probably better known for building large luxury cars. The 6-cylinder petrol engine also comes from an older Rolls-Royce. The Daimler Ferret is produced in 4,409 copies for the British Army and its allies. It is designed to carry two people into enemy country to uncover enemy positions and then return to base with intelligence. A whopping 120 horsepower The idea is that the tow truck can pass through rough terrain quickly and unnoticed. It has thick armouring, so it can withstand less fire, and it is also equipped with the aforementioned row grenade launchers, which can obscure the enemy's view. If things go completely wrong, there is also a machine gun so the soldiers can defend themselves. The 4.3-liter inline six produces 120 hp, but it has 3.7 tons, a permanent four-wheel drive and 90 cm high reinforced wheels to lug around. Therefore, the top speed is naturally limited to just over 90 km/h. On a good day that is. Click 'NEXT PAGE' to read on
