Hi all,

the Iltis is a offroad 4x4, no VC, using a VW Fox engine.  I don't think it
has a low range, just a granny 1st.  It is the CDN military Jeep, know as
the 'Brass Taxi' as it is best suited to ferrying top brass around in the
field.  One landmine and all occupants severely crippled/worse, in a Hummer
you'd get a headache and loose a wheel.  The grunts want Hummers naturally
(me too)  It was to be a NATO vehicle, the initial call was for an
amphibian, so look at the high prow next time. Not amphibious in production
version.  They go for $1500-2000 CDN in surplus auctions here I'm told.
Well used.

bye, Tim
