Here is one that I photographed in CFB Kingsotn in the mid-1990s.

Thanks I put a lot of hours in restoring it. I think it is a unique variant of the iltis and working in the communication trade the last 15 years added a little something as well. I like the pictures you posted as there are very few pictures around of any kind of vehicles that were used in Canadian service and I like collecting them as when restoring them it gives a person some in site as to what they actually looked like and helps when restoring a vehicle back to original. If you have any other pictures of the cable layer or ambulance I would be interested for future restorations as I also have the Ambulance the regular model and also the one with tailgate as when they were selling them off I got one of each of the 4 styles that were available. I wonder how many of the cable laying varriant they made as all the ones so far that I have found have the CFR#s in the 88026-88066, so maybe there might have been 100?
