You are in luck! GMC M217CDN 55-57881 serial 120704369 ECC 124503 was disposed of in August 1986 from ASU/CFB Petawawa. I have two photographs of the vehicle in my collection.

Having the exhaust repositioned to the front was one of the unique features of the M217CDN.

Hello,

Was wondering if anyone could help me with any information regarding me newly acquired 1986 Iltis with DNR number B102-01-06-87937

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Iltis with tailgate 87937 was disposed of out of ASU/CFB Petawawa in November 2005. You are in luck, as I photographed your Iltis at a CFB Petawawa open house in 1988 and I have additional information on this vehicle. It was first used by 3 RCR until April 1986 and then with the Canadian Airborne Regiment until January 1999 when it was transferred to ASU/CFB Petawawa.

This photograph shows it with a M100CDN.

I'm in the middle of restoring this, I was wondering if you can make out the unit marking number in your original photo ? The watermark is hard to make it it out but looks like 013?

Would like it to be restored with original markings.. cheers
