Background

The Hotchkiss M201 was the standard light utility vehicle used by the French army from shortly after the second World War until it began retiring them from French service in the 1980s. It started in 1955 as a World War II jeep built under license and in many respects was little changed when production ended in 1966. The last M201 was taken out of French service as late as year 2000. In France, it is usually simply called "La Jeep".
