Bombardier ILTIS

[Marc Montgomery]

Scottys point about the cicurit breaker demonstrates again, that to the average citizen there's little difference among all 1/4t models...they're all "jeeps" and one is like another right? ...as a point..when I had my 3-ton, no-one realized it was a 60yrold WWII vehicle, and francophone Quebeckeres often referred to it as my "gros jeep"- big jeep.

I suppose all MVs have/had their good points and drawbacks while in service, and these issues may or may not apply to them in collectors hands. Scotty rightly points out that offraod ability is of little importance since collectors almost never go offroad, or if so, only mildly so.

The Mutt is (IMHO) is equally as interesting as any other 1/4t vehicle, regardless of it being re-welded (arent there more re-welded than uncut?) I think they're kinda neat looking too.

There were certainly more of the M series jeeps built than Cdn Iltis-for example= 2,500
M-38= 45,000+, M38A1= 100,000+
and heck, with enough money, you can buy all the repop parts and build an MB-GPW almost 100% from scratch

** I sure would like to know my Iltis history as there were no detectable unit marking on the bumpers-I believe someone on the forum has access to CFR number-history?) **

CFR Request Thread

Just post up your VIN/Serial Number from your (cough/choke ) Iltis on that threadf and i'll pull it for you. Your CFR as i'm sure you know, is the last 7 Digits in your VIN Number on an Iltis.

I'm falling a bit behind with the CFR Requests as my Unit has moved me to another new workspace and I havn't got EDR setup and running on the terminal in here.

suprisingly I dont see prices rising for the Mahindra jeep, mm550xd
or perhaps if you wanted to really confuse folks with something a tad bigger.
how about the Nissan 4W73 ..not a jeep of course...

used to be a Munga around Montreal (pre Iltis) but havent seen it lately, also a Munga was apparently for sale last year in Ontario, no price avail

I found a Munga in Fredericton, just sitting in a parking lot rusting away.
