VW Iltis wasQuattro limits in Ohio

[Pantelis Giamarellos]

People Hi,

if anyone is interested I have direct access to around 10 VW Iltis, surplus
from the Greek Army.
Those vehicles came to Greece following the distribution of ex Western
Germany NATO military vehicles to other NATO countries.

I do not know whether those vehicles are in working condition but I can find
out about condition and prices if anyone is interested.

Take care
Pantelis
