RE: lltis further information - trivial pursuit questions

[Eaton Dave <dave.eaton@minedu.govt.nz>]

there is a good series on the production of the ur-quattro serialised in the
last 4 "audi car" magazines.  there is a picture there of the lltis.
basically a butt-ugly jeep originally produced solely for the german army.
alternatively the "audi file" book, and walton's ur-quattro book....

there is nothing that i know off on the net...

	Dave & All:

	Any sites out there to see pics of the Iltis?

	And exactly what role has Steyer Daimler Puch(sp?) of Austria played
in 
	VW/Audi 4wd history??

	Thanks!
