CFR Request Thread

The change could have been during service or after service. For instance, when I was in Cypress in 1989, the Iltis fleet there was replaced by Pajero, as the Iltis were already suffering from the rough roads. The Iltis that were in theater were sent to Shilo, where they were mixed and matched to make serviceable Iltis to return to service.

I personally replaced an Iltis body (due to accident damage) but in that case, it was just a matter of ordering a brand new body in the crate from the supply system.

Collectors have also done similar repairs post service. Unfortunately, with the loss of the detailed EDR viewer a few years back, it may be very difficult to get the full work order history on your vehicle(s).


The 87 in the frame serial number does not denote 1987. There would be two digits proceeding the 5 digits that would denote yer of acceptance to DND. Iltis were produced for Canada in 1984, 5 and 6.

Iltis 87355 was a ECC 121501 Basic manufactured in 1985 and sold out of Valcartier in Aug 2005; while Iltis 88113 was a ECC 121519 Tailgate manufactured in 1986 and also sold out of Valcartier in Aug 2005. Which version of Iltis do you have? Perhaps the bodies were swapped by the vendor?

Standard Iltis, no tailgate, Ambulance, etc...
I bought it from an individual that originally bought it from PreFair here in Quebec. I talked to the gentleman that was responsible for the Iltis’s at PreFair and he mentioned that they did not do any swamps.

So if I am reading this thread correctly you have a CFR 88113 ECC 121519 Iltis Tailgate data plate affixed to a Iltis ECC 121501 standard body which is mounted on a CFR 87355 standard Iltis frame. Someone created a FrankenIltis!

[Jacques Rioux]

That maybe the case, or somebody slapped on the 88113 Dataplate on the body of 87355. I look at the back of the Ilitis and there are no hints that the rear use to have a tailgate set up. Radio power box in the corrrect place, framing looks correct, etc...
Still a curious history on this Iltis. I did get information from the freedom of information request on 88113 which showed it spent time in Bagotville and 55 Med in Quebec City.

Hi,

I was hoping someone would be generous enough to look up my M101CDN2 Trail CFR information and post it as a pdf.

It is serial number 1145 per these images:
Thanks, Chris

[Ed Storey]

Your M101CDN2 Serial No. 1145 was CFR 16338 which was manufactured in 1994 and disposed of out of CFB Gagetown in October 2002. The last recorded user unit was The Prince Edward Island Regiment (RCAC).
