m.pfaffeneder ◊ 2011-08-06 21:32	I think so. Typ 183
Ingo ◊ 2011-08-06 21:37	Filmed where? Maybe it's the Canadian Bombardier-version. It seems so, as it has an American-style tire with the white stripe on the side. And for sure it's a faked UN-car, smeared with a paintwork for radiators or so. UN-troops had always real military versions (mostly Bombardier), so not with silvermetallic wheels. Btw.: in the village, where I grew up, there was a freak, who had a civil Iltis, pimped with alloys in the Mercedes G-style and green tinted window - even in the doors

Ingo ◊ 2011-08-06 23:11	But it shall be a Bombardier, as Gag an stu have mentioned.
