Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Panhard shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Panhard offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Panhard at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Panhard? Wrong! If the Panhard is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Panhard then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Panhard? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Panhard and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Panhard wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Panhard then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Panhard site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Panhard, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Panhard, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

, in 1898s Panhard of the French Army

Panhard is a French manufacturer of light tactical and military vehicles. It was formed by the acquisition of Panhard by Auverland in 2005. Panhard had been under PSA Peugeot Citroën ownership for 40 years. The combined company now uses the Panhard name. Panhard once built civilian cars but ceased production in 1968, although many of their products end up on the civilian market via third sources and as military/government surplus.

History Panhard was originally called Panhard et Levassor, and was established as a car manufacturing concern by René Panhard, Emile Levassor, and Belgian lawyer Edouard Sarazin in 1887.Georgano, G. N. Cars: Early and Vintage, 1886-1930. (London: Grange-Universal, 1985) Benz and Daimler produced pilot models before this time, and Benz was in production by 1888 with his three-wheeler. Parisian bicycle manufacturerGeorgano. Emile Roger obtained a license to produce this car, and ended up producing more than Benz, due to the ready acceptance of automobiles by the French. Daimler began producing cars in small series circa 1890/91.

Inspired by Daimler's Stahlradwagen (Steel Wheel Wagon) prototypes of 1889, Panhard and Levassor decided to move to making automobiles. Their first car, with licence-produced Daimler engines, was offered in 1890. Levassor obtained his licence from a friend who already had one, Sarazin. Upon Sarazin's death in 1887, Sarazin's widow married Levassor, and the deal was cemented. Daimler and Levassor became fast friends, and shared improvements with one another.

These first vehicles set many modern standards, but each was a one-off design. They used a clutch pedal to operate a chain-driven gearbox. The vehicle also featured a front-mounted radiator. An 1895 Panhard is credited with the first modern Transmission (mechanics).

In 1891, the company built their first all-Lavassor design,Georgano. a "state of the art" model: the Systeme Panhard consisted of four wheels, a FR layout with rear wheel drive, and a crude sliding-gear transmission. (It would remain the standard until Cadillac introduced synchromesh in 1928.)Georgano. This was to become the standard layout for automobiles for most of the next century. The same year, Panhard shared their Daimler engine license with bicycle maker Armand Peugeot, who formed his own car company.

In 1895, 1205cc (74ci) Panhards finished 1-2 in the Paris-Bordeau-Paris Rally, one piloted solo by Levassor, for 48¾hr.The prize would go to Koechlin's Peugeot, instead, since the Panhard-Levassor had only two seats, while the rules required four. Cf Georgano. Arthur Krebs succeeded Levassor as General Manager in 1897, and held the job until 1916. He turned the Panhard-Levassor Company into one of the largest and profitable manufacturer of automobiles before World War I.

Panhards won numerous races from 1895 to 1903. Panhard developed the Panhard rod, which became used in many other types of automobiles as well.

From 1925 the motors used Knight Engine sleeve valves. That year a 4.8 litre (292ci) model set the world record for the fastest hour run, an average of 185.51 km/h (115.26mph).

After World War II the company produced light cars such as the Panhard Dyna X, Panhard Dyna Z, Panhard PL 17, Panhard 24 CT and Panhard 24 BT. The company managed to get around a steel-saving government regulation forbidding new car models by making the bodies and several other components out of aluminum; the Dyna X and Z 1 had aluminum bodies. The later Dyna Z and the PL 17 bodies were steel. The styling was smooth and rounded, which stood out in any post-war parking lot. The 24 CT was a beautiful 2+2 seater; the 24 BT with a longer wheelbase had space for four. The Panhard based Deutsch Bonnets ("DB Panhard") dominated the "Index of Performance" class at 24 Hours of Le Mans and other small-engine racing classes.

The last Panhard passenger car was built in 1967. From 1968 on, Panhard has only made vehicle armour vehicles — the civilian branch was absorbed by Citroën in 1965, and the marque was retired.

In 2004, Panhard lost a competition to another manufacturer of military vehicles, Auverland, for the choice of the future Petit Véhicule Protégé of the French Army. This allowed Auverland to purchase Panhard in 2005, then a subsidiary of PSA Peugeot Citroën. However, the fame of Panhard being greater, it was decided to retain the name; the PVP designed by Auverland would bear a Panhard badge.

Vehicles in Service Panhard has supplied more than 18.000 military wheeled vehicles to over 50 countries with a range of combat vehicles weighing less than 10 tonnes, as follows:
