Hello

[shelby]

Hello all, just introducing myself. I have been a keen collector of French military equipment since completing my commando course at Givet whilst i was on attachment. I currently have a Hotchkiss M201, a Peugeot SX8 and the turret from an EBR 75mm and am looking forward to hearing more of your restorations, learning more about the vehicles and seeing your pictures.

Thanks JLR, can't wait to start my Sx80 restoration as i have only had it a couple of weeks, and i have seen you guys have a lot of experience with these lovely little motorcycles.

You have really nice vehicles!
Thanks for sharing the photos!
Yves ... actually in Sydney

Merci Yves, i have been quite lucky as French vehicles are quite rare in the UK, although probably not as rare as in Sydney

Here is my Panhard EBR turret, it was rescued from a range in southern France and as such needs a lot of restoration. It will soon be moved into my garden were i am building a shelter for it.

Building a shelter for EBR turret has a more or less distant relationship with Brexit ...?

I'm out... Shelby. We'll do our best to help you to restart the SX

Thanks cargokatkat i think i will need all the help i can get with my SX, she hasn't run properly for a while as the previous owner wasnt too interested in her unfortunately.
