Unless your looking to kill yourself I would forget it. I drove and
commanded a ferret II for a number of years and saw a few friends killed
by their propensity to roll at high speeds and/or on rough ground. If you
are detemined to get a ferret you stand a much better chance of surviving
in a mark I

A Ferret 2/3 was a mark 2 with modified turret to carry Vigilant
anti-tank missiles and the turret is even higher and even more inclined
to roll the vehicle at the slightest excuse..
