it is, its a genuine either german military or nato military 181
its still got its black out lights on the bumpers, bush bars,from what i can see the only none origional bits are the number plates and the badge on the front.

did you take any more pics? were the gun racks beside the seats?
extra tip the B pillars are strengthened to take a machine gun. imagine that as you are driving!!

That's the only snap I took, I only had a bit of a quick look over it so I didn't notice the racks.

they are camoflaged(?) thats the idea!! hehehe
oh another point of interest this car cannot be seen with night vision, the paint is ultra IR absorbant so there appears to be a great big shadow where the car would be!
you can see the tags that hold covers over headlights, the reflectors will reflect the IR. so will the windscreen theres a big bag goes over that! and the mirrors!
i'd like to know what (if any) accessories it got i had one in the uk i bought direct from nato had a spare wheel fuel can, rifle racks, all the black out lights, all the covers, anti-radiation protection on all the electrics, first aid box under the dash, it even had a studded spare wheel (tyre)possibly one of the best cars i ever owned!!
