Ah, did you ask France if they were making it, and if they were willing to sell to Mexico?

I haven't decided which way to go, and Mexico hasn't bought anything from France. Also the armored car will probably be of Mexican design unless Wes decides to use said vehicle. So if I did go with the Hotchkiss design it would probably only be as a base for looks. The actual car would look sufficiently different to not be a copy.

Nowhere near an expert on land forces so lots of guesswork going on here. Does it look reasonable?
