All the info on the vehicles is there..we scooted around town..blasted down the motorway with extra turbo boost..and then went all wheel driving on some posh country house estate...

 

 

 

This one was back from the client for new seats..mini bar..and to be lined with Harris tweed..

I may be wrong  I have an enormous knob    these are constructed next to the universities of Guiddyfords Surrey from recycled Puch Maxis? Same as Fiat/Panda/Puch/Styer 4x4 ???

Yep..i think your right about that..but no longer built as they have have no explosive protection..ceased in 2005...Taliban and their IED's saw an end to them probably...

Great stuff, especially the turquoise one doing the off roading.  Thanks to Lacquer Peel Tayne I know what these are after he identified this one I spotted trundling along last month.

 

[vulgalour]

I keep doing that.  I confuse you and LP all the time.  I still think WilsonWilson and FOAD and 320Touring are the same person.  I'm just going to start calling everyone Bruce.  Soz.

[drum]

'We' had one. Had its wee brother a halflinger too.

[vulgalour]

Online, everyone looks the same to me.  I meet them in person and I can tell them apart, no worries.  It's nothing personal.

Did your mate help import some Hurth axels for a Stonefield from Malaysia for my mate a couple of years ago?

A friend used to have a Land Rover 101 which is "similar" and I liked driving that so I've always wanted a go in a Pinzgauer to compare them.

[scruff]

Chalk and cheese!!! If they had the V8 soundtrack of the 101 they might well be the best vehicle ever. 

[Cavcraft]

They seem quite a lot of motor (and no doubt fun) for a bit under sixteen grand plus VAT for the cheapest second hand one.

He believes that may be the case.

They're still in military service here in the UK. A pig to work on but a hoot to drive. The white one in the pic undergoing a refurb with the body off looks like an ex-RAF TMV ambulance.

[Landy Mann]

They put any land rover to shame, very capable for speedy of roading.
