Clive,
Is the ISAF stencil original to the vehicle or was it added on for looks.Might have some interesting history to the jeep if original.Do you have the red light to mount on the jeep? Will be nice to just put a plate on and a full tank of gas and away you go!Congratulations.
Regards,Derk.

Hi Derk,

It's an add-on by the young lad who sold it to me. He served in A'stan (wounded) and applied it to the Iltis.

Nice purchase, another retirement toy for you to play with . . .

Added bonus is that you have a M38A1CDN2 to tow the Iltis home when it quits.

Jealousy is rearing its ugly head.

Not going to happen. I just want a driver for the 2-3 events that are close enough for me to attend. (insert 'famous last words' here...)

Glad you Iltis guys can take the ribbing. I just always loved the Willy's series of Jeeps, and even the M151A2s, although devoid of personality, were at least SMP. Mutts were gutless cross country mind you as was the Iltis. Those two vehicles were more for the highways.

There will be no Iltis for me, ever. I actually have a half triwall of parts I bought at auction for them last summer, but I bought the lot just for some of the trailer parts. The usual Iltis stuff (clutch cables, brake tubes, park brake cable, license plates light....the usual junk) is just waiting for me to take the time to clean out the storage shed and flog them.

I have to agree with Rob. Trained to drive the M38A1 CDN2 and 3, then drove a '74 Pattern Jeep (aka the M151) and drove an Iltis several times in Bosnia, which is ironic because I barely turned a wheel in one in Canada. The '67 Pattern Jeeps have the character of an off-road vehicle. The others, just aren't really - well, you know - Jeeps.

But, Clive you've got a good one there if it was built/rebuilt by CFSEME trained wrenches. These guys would be have access to all the best corporate knowledge to do these the right way. No learning as they go mechanics, with intuition hoping to do it right.

Why are Jeeps still being referred to as Pattern this and Pattern that, when they are M series vehicles? M38A1CDN1, CDN2 or CDN3 correctly spells out what the vehicle was. The M151A2 as Pattern 74, really; so I guess that makes the Iltis a Pattern 86....? Following this Pattern logic, what would the CJ7 or the YJ be called? Why the made-up names?
