robin craig Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 How many did France buy and how or where and when were they disposed of? Does anyone know? Any survived in private ownership? R Quote
0 schliesser92 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 As far as I can make out, a number were aquired for the Algerian conflict whilst the Panhard AML-245 was being developed. How many, and which marks, doesn't seem to be recorded. Quote
0 robin craig Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 It would seem that they were Mk 2/3 vehicles and they were in use as of at least 1964 from what I can tell. Different tyres used I seem to think. Layout of some external items moved around. R Quote

0 robin craig Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 There is one example saved at Saumur, which has M series turn signals at the front and what appears to be a different style of headlights than normal. Sorry nothing that I can post here as all are copyright protected. R Quote
0 robin craig Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 I'm very surprised that there is not more knowledge on these vehicles, and so far no info on what happened to them. Im thinking that they were used as range targets of cut up or maybe left in Algeria. R Quote
