If you have thought about investing in a vehicle but need a little advice this totally biased guide may be helpful …
The Daimler Ferret is an ideal “starter” armoured vehicle. Why? Because it is easy(ish) to drive, very satisfying when driven well, is comfortable on the road and cross country (better than my Discovery) has a good road performance, is a capable off road performer, has a good spares supply, will fit most garages, can cope with the Tesco shopping run and, if you are used to big American cars, fuel consumption is not too bad.
And women think it is cute!
