Alex, thanks for your interest and support of the youngest CMP........ the Bombardier Iltis.......... perhaps you would like to buy one?

Cheers!

Stu..
youngest CMP...????
Surely you jest...!!
There is nothing Canadian about them..other than they were built under license here ..Originally a Volkswagen design, the Iltis uses components from the Volkswagen Polo and Audi Quattro vehicles.
In October 1981, Volkswagen AG of Germany agreed to cede and transfer to Bombardier Inc of Canada the design and manufacturing technology of its Iltis (4 × 4) 500 kg light vehicle as used by the German Army. The agreement also granted to Bombardier the worldwide rights for the marketing, sale and distribution of the Iltis, as well as the rights to manufacture and market the civilian version.
And no I don't want one but for those that like and own them that is good..for them to enjoy,but by no stretch of the imagination are they a Canadian Military Pattern Vehicle.
