Daimler - Benz DB 601 The Daimler - Benz DB 601 was a German aircraft engine built during World War II . It was a liquid - cooled inverted V12 , and powered the Messerschmitt Bf 109 , among others . The DB 601 was basically an improved DB 600 with direct fuel injection . The DB 601Aa was licence - built in Japan by Aichi as the Atsuta , by Kawasaki as the Ha - 40 , and in Italy by Alfa Romeo as the R . A . 1000 R . C . 41 - I " Monsone " . Development . Based on the guidelines laid down by the " Reichswehrministerium " ( " Reich ' s Ministry of Defence " ) , in 1929 Daimler - Benz began development of a new aero engine of the 30 - litre displacement class : a liquid - cooled inverted - Vee 12 - cylinder piston engine . This was designated F4 , and by 1931 two prototypes were running on the test bench . These were followed by the improved F4 B , which became the prototype for the DB 600 . In 1933 , Daimler - Benz finally received a contract to develop its new engine and to build six examples of the DB 600 . For the year after , the DB 600 was the only German aero engine in the 30 - litre class . In total , 2281 DB 600s were built . The DB 601A - 1 was a development of the DB 600 with direct fuel injection . Like all DB 601s , it had a 33 . 9 litre displacement .

Ferret armoured car The Ferret armoured car , also commonly called the Ferret Scout car , is a British armoured fighting vehicle designed and built for reconnaissance purposes . The Ferret was produced between 1952 and 1971 by the UK company , Daimler . It was widely adopted by regiments in the British Army as well as Commonwealth countries throughout the period . History . The Ferret was developed in 1949 as a result of the British Army ' s need to obtain a replacement model for its Second World War light armoured vehicles . Due to the success of their Reconnaissance Scout Car , the " Dingo " , Daimler was employed to design and manufacture the Ferret . The Ferret shared many similar design features with the Dingo and Canadian Ford Lynx , but featured a larger fighting compartment and an optional small machine gun turret . It was built from an all - welded monocoque steel body , making the vehicle lower but also making the drive extremely noisy inside as all the running gear was within the enclosed body with the crew . Four wheel drive was incorporated together with " Run flat " tyres ( which kept their shape even if punctured in battle , thus enabling a vehicle to drive to safety . ) The turret , though not fitted to all models , carried a single machine gun . Six grenade launchers fitted to the hull ( three on each side ) could carry smoke grenades . It is fast and small enough to be used in an urban environment but strong enough to negotiate rugged terrain off road . The Ferret is no longer in service in the British Army , although several Commonwealth countries still operate them to this day . They have been popular with private collectors due to the compact size and affordable price e . g . around $ 20 , 000 to $ 30 , 000 in the USA , $ 40 , 000 to $ 60 , 000 in Australia and New Zealand . In 1975 , 3 Ferrets sold at a government surplus auction in Adelaide , South Australia for $ 900 to $ 1500 each . Though all were complete ( except for gun ) , only 2 would start and run . Two were bought by farmers and one by a local used car dealer who parked it in his front lot for a few years to attract customers . Production . A total of 4 , 409 Ferrets , including 16 sub - models under various Mark numbers , were produced between 1952 and 1971 . It is possible to upgrade the engine using the more powerful FB60 version from the Austin Princess 4 - Litre - R ; this upgrade would provide an additional 55 hp over the standard B60 engine . Variants . There are several Marks of Ferret , including those with varying equipment , turret or no turret and armed with Swingfire anti - tank missiles . Including all the marks and experimental variants there have probably been over 60 different vehicles .
