Iltis Forum

[Gordon Yeo]

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.
