Default Advice

Great advice Terry, but no worries, I have no intention of investing in an MV.

Ha! "Investing" in an Iltis is akin to investing in Bre-X!

...says the Iltis owner.

Stuart,

Was that a shot at me for trucking vehicles up?

I truck vehicles around to lessen road miles and to speed the process up.

Bear in mind what you see me bring for the most part does not belong to me but for the collection for whom I work . There are order to follow ya know.

I have however purchased an MV recently and Santa brought me a trailer, so look out!

I put a request in quite some time ago to join the forum. How long does it usually take to get a response?

Default The pariah of the CF

It is no secret that the Iltis is regarded as the pariah of the Canadian Forces military vehicle fleet. Or, is that just because the LSVW hasn't ( and probably never will be ) released into public ownership.I think Stuart is saying that some Iltis have been restored as a tribute to a vehicle that served for many years and in war zones. Love it or hate it, is it not worthy of that respect. Yeah, yeah, I know it wasn't designed for the job, some body else picked it and you got stuck with it!
Remember the Sherman is a great icon and was referred to as a Tommy Cooker and a Ronson, and who wouldn't want one of those?
I have restored several Iltis and this is the one I did for myself. Yes they can be rust buckets, a NOS body certainly eliminates that problem.
