The EBR is an 8x8 wheeled reconnaissance vehicle based on the previous Panhard AM 40 P/Model 201, a light armored car born before the Second World War, but remained only at prototype level. After the war the new contest for a postwar armored car saw the Panhard proposal as winner against two other French firms.
French cold-war era Armoured personnel carrier The EBR ETT was a troop transport variant of Panhard’s EBR armoured car and it used many identical components. Testing of the two prototypes began in 1956 but the type was ultimately not used by France, although 28 were sold to Portugal, which is presumably where this example came from.

In the early 1960s, the decision was taken to rebore the SA 49 to the internal dimensions of the D 921A 90 mm low-pressure rifled gun (CN 90 F1) of the AML-90, allowing the retroffited EBR to also use the powerful OCC 90 EMP Mle 61 fin-stabilized HEAT shell fired at a muzzle velocity of 750 m/s (2,500 ft/s). [2]
This led to the 8x8 Panhard EBR (Type 212) which entered service in 1950. [14] Similarly, in 1956 the French Ministry of Defense was persuaded to commission a replacement for the Daimler Ferret scout car. [3] Also manufactured by Panhard, the successor was the AML (Type 245) which entered service in 1961. [15]
The Panhard AM 40 P was also planned to replace the Panhard 178. [1] [5] However, due to the Fall of France, no vehicle was built except the prototype. The prototype was shipped to Morocco and its fate remains unknown. [2] [3] After the end of World War II, elements of the Panhard AM 40 P would be used in the design of the Panhard EBR.
