Default CFB Borden Iltis

This in my opinion should not be a rust experiment.

This one should be somewhere cherished.

It is not an ordinary Iltis by any means.

Isn't it just a standard German Army Iltis purchased for the trialling and development of a Cdn model? I suspect it is just one of thousands produced in Germany. Seems to me the other 4 or 5 were used as drop trainers for the air force.

It is a true Volkswagen and not a "native" Bombardier.....
