I noticed a couple weeks ago that the Iltii that were in the motorpool at the North Bay Armoury are suddenly missing...
They have been parked in the same place for the last 2 or 3 years and seemingly never left the lot on exercise during this time. Perhaps they are off to auction in either Ottawa or Toronto as well....

Thats an M100!!
Where the hell did they dig that one up? Anyone going to the viewing? I may bid on it. The bin on my M416 is OK. Probably just switch it over and swap Fenders. Scotty

I have straightened worse M100s than that. Trick is to jack up the body corner(s), then replace the round tubing in the top edge to finish it all off. The mig will be your friend.

If anyone is planning on attending that auction (and not bidding on the M100
 ), PM me. It seems I can't proxy bid over the Internet. Scotty

Volkswagen Iltis
It looks like lot V146 is a Volkswagen Iltis, not a Bombardier. Note the German tail lights, tire mount, antenna mount on the front fender and footman loops for the roof instead of the posts. Interesting that it has a Canadian grille guard, pintle hitch and three colour Canadian cam. I imagine that this is one of the few German (trials vehicles?) that appear in the CF Iltis holdings. Unfortunately the VIN in the listing looks suspicious even for a Volkswagen.

Good eye Jason. Note that it has "training aid" stenciled on the corner.
I'm not sure there was any difference on the basic spare tire carrier between the Canadian and the German versions. Ours simply had the wheel adapter for the M100 trailer added to the spare tire carrier, and the wheel turned around the other way. I recall that whenever we ordered the bolt from the manual for the spare tire, we always got one that was too short, meant for the german version.

Clive has Scotty's info from the EDR on Ramtank and he has recorded that ECC 121901 was assigned to 4 VW Iltis and ECC 121911 was assigned to 1 VW Iltis ambulance. So it appears that this is one of the 5 German vehicles we had in the CF. It must have spent most of its life as a training aid to have survived until now.
I wonder if it would be possible to see what serial numbers were recorded in the EDR for these ECC's? It looks as though most of these Iltis have the large cargo chute rings on the bumpers. I wonder if they were last in use as training loads for cargo drops?
