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.
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]

Panhard designed a turret which mounted the long barrel F4 90mm smooth bore-cannon developed by GIAT, and designated the vehicle the ERC 90 F4 Sagaie. [5] The F4 90mm could fire APFSDS (Armour Piercing Fin Stabilised Discarding Sabot) rounds at a much higher velocity than the Lynx's F1 90mm. GIAT and Panhard both claimed it could penetrate ...
