I’m looking for photos of those vehicles: M8 HMC – 4 or 5 vehicles were still in service with the Mexican army in 1996

This document is a compilation of photos published on the web. I would like to thank especially Rafał Białęcki, who deserved the most of the job on this document, and also the people who took these photos and put them on their websites, or sent them to me, and those who helped me doing these lists (particularly people of the AFV News Discussion Board).
