+//As an aside, the Iltis vehicles were delivered to France in a khaki-green military color just days before the start of the Dakar. It was impossible to set off in that military livery, as it risked causing issues at border crossings—and the regulations explicitly prohibited that color. Consequently, the cars were painted black—using paint rollers—shortly before the start!//
