Wow, I'm working at the saumur tank museum in France as a volunteer so I can tell you we've got plenty of ebrs some running some not and a pile of spare parts 😂
Get in contact with the lads then buddy - if they havn't already been in contact with you :)
I am sure that the Aussies would love any information or a trip to study the runnings ones
@@utha2665I would love too but I don't think I have the power to help lol
@@TAMEREDUDESERT Even so, talk to your workshop team, show them the video even, and see what happens. No one better than the French when it comes to quirky French tanks (and cars... Looking at you, Citroen.)
Time for a Collab lol
Maybe the donor hull could be painted up nice and white and displayed beside the rolling chassis as a cutaway to enable visitors to easily view the interior?
Without it's armor skirt and the aluminum wheel it looks so rugged and badass, looking light and fast
Still hope you guys can somehow find the time / funds / parts etc to make a runner. But fully understand the choice for a static,
All my time in world, I have never heard of this magnificent beast. Man alive, this is a cool ass donk!
I saw this thing out the front last weekend when I visited! Mad looking nugget. Had no idea what it was until I recognised where the inner wheels were supposed to be, and that it had two front ends. I though "hey, this is that weird french thing!"
that veicle is SO COOL!!!
can't wait to see it restored
How about putting a transparent cover over the hill damage, so it allows a view inside?
Can't wait, need that fix!!!
This is Amazing
Looking forward to it, thanks boys!
What fortitude in these guys, eh? Quite a vehicle indeed!
that huge spherical shiny ball joint is a great idea for all ways of movement, I'm thinking polished stainless and not chrome, chrome would be cracked and flaking by now,
Interesting vehicle. You guys got this....Good luck.
To fix one thing he said, the nitrogen in the tires will get warm likely any other air (what we breath is like 70% nitrogen) but pure nitrogen doesn't expand nearly as much when heated
I love the French. They are determined to be unique.. The engine looks amazing Does the crankshaft rotate?.
Cool vehicle!
Big fan of the channel! 👍
9:50 "That might be a good job for Al"
Sure, I would love to restore a tan- Oh.
This ebr now looks like Frome Dune or Mad Max franchise xD I hope that they will restore it to full glory :)
OG Dakar with a Popgun.. ❤ Would have been bad in the heat with the motor inside
It looks way cooler with only 4 wheels
It being a French armored vehicle, I find it fitting for it to be difficult to tell whether it’s in retreat or going forward.
Keep it like that... the greatest rat rod of all time.
Looks very Mad Max…
That vehiacle looks straight out of a si-fi setting
I saw some of these in Germany (when there was a West Germany) in a small convoy..
In Portuguese army still as, the same modell, i think!
пацаны я засвечу!!
man fr just did the 6:00
Love how flat they managed to get that flat engine. It looks almost cartoonishly flat.
Low mounted mid-engined car with high top speed for its class, it's not a supercar it's an armoured supercar
"The French copy no one. And no one copies the French.' Ian McCaulam Forgotten Weapons. It's a shame you can't make this one a runner, odd design but interesting.
SupercarBlondie will never get this car. But it is, definetily, a supercar. 😊
As a War Thunder player with 1300 hours, this EBR you guys are restoring, is the most annoying thing to deal with when they flank behind us
The thing is soo fast, so by the time you realise you are being flanked, your'e gone
Call the Frenchies, work on that national pride, tell 'em a former Brit colony needs a bit of help displaying French technology, Pour La Gloire de la France! I bet you'll be swamped in parts and help. All is fair in love and tank-restoration. 😀
With those big independent springs, it looks like an insane, heavily armed rock-crawler!
Mad Max vibes
I was thinking a dune buggy on steroids
@@awf6554 Yeah i'm getting Mad Max 2 vibes...
It IS an insane, heavily armed rock-crawler!
It's french design too, the 2CV has it's lamps at that place, and the hood is quite similar.
A really intelligent design. I'd love to see that flat 12 restored.
Agreed! That flat 12 is wonderful
make a decent BMW R10000
I am a veteran of the French army, I was in the cavalry. In France there are EBRs in all camps and regiments that serve as flowerpots.
...et c'est de toute beauté.
Thank you for serving your nation - kind regards from an American of French Canadian descent. :)
Don't trip over Niger like the occupied force you are.
it's just to say, that if they are looking for spare parts, there are everywhere in France, I think they just have to ask...

Such a shame it's not a full restoration, I'd love to see this running.
The "confrontation" between the EBR and the M47 actually took place in the streets of Lisbon during the Carnation revolution in April 74. They were on opposing sides of the revolution, but eventually they both stood down and no shots were fired.
And the EBR had the FL-10 turret with the 75mm SA50.
Your comment may lead to confusion, it is indeed the M47s which were ordered by the loyalists and the EBRs by the revolutionaries.
This vehicle is so weirdly French. I’m only disappointed it doesn’t have hydropneumatic suspension to add to the guy’s’ complications.
a little addendum:
not all EBRs had two radios, troop vehicles only had the one radio set installed in the turret, in front of the commander (SCR 528), platoon command cars had an additional set (SCR 506 or TRVM 1) mounted with the rear driver to talk on the divisional network as those vehicles were affected to divisional reconnaissance groups
I love the French. They are determined to be unique.
That's the most french looking french thing i've seen since the original Citroen DS
As a french, i can say yes
"The French imitate no-one. And no-one imitates the French".
...and they manage to be just annoying along the way. A for effort though.
You Pidorasos 😂
Oh boy, for many WoT players, its one of the most hated vehicles in the game. But for us fellas interested in military vehicles, especially the Cold War ones, it will be an interesting restoration. It will be interesting.
Because they're fast and OP. The M48 would have been chewed up 😂
It's certainly interesting to see one in reality - not the physics defying Klingon battle cruiser with cloaking that WoT fantasizes about.
@@morstyrannis1951 really simple to balance wheels. At least in my mind. Wish they'd do it already.
It is just as hated in war thunder
@@chaselaurence8783Stop spreading your bs everywhere
My dad was in the 9th Hussards regiment. They had this tank. Pretty good beast from what he told me.
I can't believe the smiles and enthusiasm shown toward this project, considering the actual state of both vehicles.
Love that you guys always look to the future and any possibility of further work, even by another collection, saving as much as practical. Keep up the awesome work, wish I could get to armourfest this year...
After watching what they did with the Grant tank, they can definitely see bent/blown out stuff repaired.
That's a weird looking tank, I wonder who made it... Ahh the French.
Designed to be a rocket ship in reverse!😂🤣
Oui
I love my Wednesday evenings, because its Workshop Wednesday, and I am never disappointed. Thanks Jason, you're a walking font of knowledge. And Daryl forever optimistic, " we'll straighten the mud guards to get started." love it. Thanks again, Cheers
East of France : 2 years ago, and old EBR rusty, sleeping since many years in field have been stoled for resale stell, in one night 17 tons of metal have dissapeard....unfortunatly for you, cause for sure it will be a good help to restore yours...so, if needed ask to french, we have spare parts here....Take care, so, so many thanks for all your work ( specially around german materials ) , cheers dears Aussie Friends : ) P.S : Famous General De Gaulle when dided on 1971, and EBR have been use with a missing turret to transport him for his last trip ! Remember......
Hello, really happy about the restoration of this speedy tank. Here in France we have the Musée des Blindés de Saumur, and I know that they have some EBRs, maybe you can ask them for spare parts and help for running it.
Hope it will get a new life in Australia !
That vehicle was the one my grandpa used to drive . As a "chef de char" or tank chief, he drove the ebr 90 until he lost his ears . He still have to this day all the knowledge about the vehicle and explained me tactics, specs , and details on the ebr 90 and im grateful for that
At the entrance of the Panhard military manufacture next to Paris there's a restored one sitting at the entrance. At least until they got bought by Renault. I didn't return there since. Where I use to work we had an 8 cyl engine. The heads as far as I can tell are regular car heads and I believe the crank is just an extended car crank (you can do that with Panhard because of the way the crank is manufactured) it wouldn't surprise me if the pistons, wrist pins, con rod, valves, rockers and torsion bars (the engine doesn't use springs) are identical to their cars.
I am from the portuguese military vehicles museum, belonging to the Portuguese Army, in Elvas (5 kms from the spanish border).
We are now restoring a EBR, and I must say that is a very, very dificult vehicle to restore. Belive me !
Even without turret the interior is very small to work with. The hidraulics are a pain in the . . .
The best of lucks ! ! !
What a fascinating vehicle! Can't wait to see it all fixed up. You guys speak about your machines with such affection. I love how you always appreciate good workmanship when you see it.
The engine looks amazing 👍
Does the crankshaft rotate?
There has been a French Panhard 4 wheel APC parked outside a diesel mechanic shop over in Destin Florida USA for about a decade.
That engine design is really clean and cool looking. 👍
Another great project to start with! Good thing that you guys have an extra chassis for the missing parts.
i love to see that become one day on your museum not a display tank but a tank that can move on its own..
cause is funny vehicle to have move around instead of being static.
the EBR .. was the one that carried General de Gaulle in his resting place!! amazing history that scout tank... !!!
Ah that motor is a work of art! Looks ok superficially. Does it turn? Bet you could get it running. At least have the thing rolling with two wheel drive.
With the vehicle that's got the hole in its side that could be a great display with the interior all in place and how it works from the outside. Like a Cross sectional view.
Thought that too. But it would only be useful if you had a complete, intact interior, which sadly they don't.
The standoff with the Pattons was during the Portuguese 25th of April revolution and neither side really wanted a fight. Besides the photos taken at the time you can also see the recreation of that moment in movies like "Capitães de Abril", at around 54m into the movie.
I think I've seen one of these in the reserve storage building at Bovington that looked to be complete, from outside at least. Maybe they can help with info.
I would have loved to seen this thing restored to a runner. But, it is what it is.
When I xas a child, I lived just in front of the Panhard factory in Paris and I saw the EBRs going out the factory without the turret, not made at Panhard. Thank you for restoring one of them!
Great story 😊 you had an interesting childhood!
Excellent guys! This should be a different & interesting restoration!☺👍
👍Very interesting presentation thank you. Good luck with the restoration, looking forward to the progress. 👍👍
Only the french, could design such a machine.
Love the old French oscillating turret tanks. The USA has a couple too. It’s gonna be fun sourcing French tank parts..
Thank you guys for posting every interesting restoration videos !. What a unique vehicle this Panhard armoured car is !
Right!....IT ISN'T a tank.....Even if it IS a really cool French monstrosity. Heh.
Man if they get the hydraulic suspension control fixed up I’d be pretty impressed. Would be a complicated job you’d think.
ohhhhh- boy---- ohhhhhhh- boy---- cant wait to see the restoration process!!! ohhhhhh boooooy!
I love this channel so much!
I look forward to every Wednesday to watch.
Shout out to my man Daryl for always wearing shorts while working in a greasy garage. 😎
Salut à tous, là aussi ,vous avez du travail pour un bon moment! bon courage!
Awwww, cmon on Daz, you could make this run again!😂😂🇦🇺
That turret is an interesting one, an interesting design. I wander if that turret could fit on a AC-1 Sentinel hull
I confirm that we have plenty of these as flowerpots in cavalry regiments, I had two in front of my room for six years...and they usually are in good shape
Very nice the EBRs where always pretty cool. The thumbnail makes it look like a post apocalyptic hot rod without the center wheels.
If you can get it running then it will be a fabulous and unique exhibit. Maybe Michelin and Panhard would be interested in contributing to having one running in the Southern Hemisphere. It’s an intriguing design from the French which reflects their reconnaissance vehicle philosophy. Drive fast, punch hard and leave quickly.
Hello, during my military duty in Germany, I got on driver place on an EBR 75, in the 1er Régiment de Spahis on 1982! It was very very cramped, the EBR for design for 1,7 meters crew !!!
Makes me wish I was filthy rich...would love to have an EBR AND an AMX-13! lol
Quirky weird French oscillating turreted vehicles are cool!
Fantastic video, lots to do there lads, nice to see that the sledgehammers will be out again soon! - And By the way, was that a Submarine Deck Gun in the workshop?
The Elvas Military Museum, in Portugal, is currently restoring a 1954 model in time for April 25th, 2024. They are fairly intact but in very rough condition, i say "they" because there´s actualy a few available to scavenge spare parts and what not, im sure if you guys need help they can help you guys, of course Musée des Blindés in Saumur should have a lot more technical documents and donor vehicles
Wow an air-cooled flat-12 !!! Just like a Porsche 917
A flat-12?! Dang, a VW Beetle would take off or tear apart with such power! XD Quite the big pancake engine!
I was quite surprised at the front of the EBR90 looking very much like the superstructure of the old ww1 Renault FT...
The lower-able centre wheels remind me of the Russian BRDM-2 scout car. I wonder if the Russians were inspired by this vehicle.
This looks like straight out of a mad max movie. 😀
The front (back) end armour slope reminds me of the Panhard M3. I guess Panhard liked the design.
I love the way the Aussie winter looks the same as our summer. 😂
This thing looks pretty cool to be honest
If I was commander on a Stug and I saw one of those I am sure my first shot's gonna be at the strut tower to guaranteed one crippled scout vehicle with one shot!!! 🤠👍
I look forward to this refurbishing project. Seems there is a lot of work needed, as usual, but it equally looks interesting as well... Thumbs Up!
NOBODY:
FRANCE: what if we put a tank turret on a beach buggy
God damn that's a hell of a machine, I feel a new model build coming along.
I need one of these to clear up traffic jams and slow vehicles off the road where i live. And yes they are slower than this.
Oh my , that's the thing nightmares are made of. Leave it to the French its a really oddball thing.
I recently acquired the 1951 version of the Panhard EBR with the 75 mm cannon on War Thunder. Yes, 105 km/h in forward and reverse. I understand that version had only 10 gears. What a coincidence that here is one being restored!
World Of Tanks also has the EBR 90. It also has the EBR 75 (FL 10), and EBR 105.
I saw this at the museum when I i went early last year, nice to see it's getting restored to it's former glory, the ebr has to be one if my favourite armoured vehicles. Although I do prefer it with the fl-10 turret.
