gadget Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) Designed in France in the early '60's. The Panhard AML60 was first purchased by the Irish Defence Forces in 1964 to supplement fire support to Infantry units on UN duty in Cyprus. The AML 60 was armed with a 60mm mortar and two 7.62mm machine guns (French AA52's) Edited May 27, 2013 by gadget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadget Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Although this car never served in Ireland, it is identical to ones supplied by Panhard. AML's are due to be retired this year by Irish Defence Forces even though most have been re-engined with Diesel Engines and 60mm mortar replaced with 20mm cannon. This particular car is ex Frenche war reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanleywindrush Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Hi - I expect that's Keiran? Nice resto on 'Dutarte', looks a million dollars! I like the UN markings as well. Your blog inspired me to post one too! - Baz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
