Here’s a find from Canadian reader J. Clark for all our readers up north: a 1985 Volkswagen Iltis, also known as a Bombardier Iltis, here on kijiji classifieds. These battle-ready machines featured what was essentially a preview of Audi’s Quattro four-wheel drive system, and this example is one of 2,500 vehicles built under licence in Canada by Bombardier for Canadian forces. They were considered supremely capable off-roaders and even took the crown away from Mercedes’ venerable G-Wagen after being chosen by the German government as the country’s primary military transport vehicle over the more expensive Gelandewagen. YouTube is full of videos showing these camouflaged VWs flogging through dirt trails and waterways, and the price of entry is far lower than buying a Unimog. This looks like a fun way to get into 4-wheeling with an unusual military vehicle that has plenty of street cred. Have any of you driven an Iltis?
