hi rob
you had mentioned that at times there were certain parts in short supply. now, anyone owning, or considering iltis ownership should consider the future of spare parts. with any other "jeep" type of vehicle, it seem to be relatively easy to get any part. most are nos or to, while some stuff is repro. with the iltis, i'm not so sure. a friend of mine has one and has used standard vw parts in some areas, but with the drive train, well, that's another story. my line of thinking here is that they were built by a company that doesn't normally build automobiles. they were, by many accounts, heavily modified from the original volkswagen design, and were produced in a relatively small number, which means a small parts supply. i can see this being a problem in time unless the repro market were to get onboard, and for the limited number's i can't see that happening either. if you really want to feel nautious, go to epay.ca and type in iltis....when i see prices like that, i'm glad i chose the two jeeps and the c.m.p. that i have.
