1978 Steyr-Puch Pinzgauer 710 Registration no. GNT 170M Chassis no. 5754801
Named after the Pinzgauer, an Austrian breed of horse, the Steyr-Puch Pinzgauer is an all-terrain off-road military vehicle that has been popularly used across the globe. Originally available in 4x4 or 6x4 configurations, the Pinzgauer was produced between 1971 and 2000 by Steyr-Puch. However in 2000 the company was taken over by a UK firm which was then merged into BAE Systems, where it was then built in Guildford, UK until 2007. This example is an Austrian-built 1978 example that has been fully restored to a very high standard. Recent mechanical work includes a full engine and gearbox service, new brakes, new ignition, new starter motor, a steering refurbishment, new batteries and a new alternator. Externally, the Pinzgauer has also received a new tan double duck canvas hood, new LED lighting front and rear, overhauled seats (with new bench), new door mirrors, rubber floor mats, a tow bar, and much more. All the work has been undertaken by Pinz specialists, and all the parts were imported from Graz, Austria. The bodywork is in excellent condition and was reworked and resprayed in Peppermint green at a cost of over £20,000. The vehicle was imported to the UK in 2012 and is accompanied with a small history file. This is a very versatile vehicle that offers seating for up to 10 passengers. The vendor has owned the vehicle since 2019, and it is reported to be running and driving very well.
