hey Guy's yes it was short lived, I have the feeling one day I will own a Pinzgauer again (when I have a big shed) I purchased a new vehicle today... stay tuned

Waw, what a beauty !

I really wanted to see you build the truck, it would have been extremely unique. I understand your plight when the truck doesn't fit it doesn't fit. That's may sound odd to some, but not everyone can understand why we do what we do. You made the right decision as difficult as it may have been. Good luck on your next build and God bless.

Good to know! I’m 41 years old but have the knees of a man twice my age. Also broke my back as a teen so I have to be pretty picky when it comes to the seating in my vehicles.

I'm looking forward to the replacement. Hmmm what could it be?

Awww...was looking forward to seeing videos of this rig out in the bush :(

Greetings from Austria to Australia. We have been confused with you so often! Have fun with OUR car!

Fair enough reasons for selling.... any ideas as to what you're going to replace it with?

Stefan, are you buying a 6x6 perentie? Cheers.

PINZGAUER IS ALREADY SOLD GUY'S

any ideas on what vehicle you will be getting next? 😋

Ja das ist ja schade für dich, ich kenn das , bin auch 1,96 mit Gr.46 an den Füßen. Der Pinzi ist halt ein Militärvehikel, und wenn man dann größer als der Durchschnitt ( der Habsburger Gebirgsarmee ) ist , dann pascht es nedde! Aber nun kann ich wenigstens mal schauen wie man all das was in OldGerman nicht TÜV-Konform ist in einen Cruiser einbaut. Viel Spass dabei und "Gut Schraub"dabei.

Sorry to hear that Stefan -- I love that Old German Warrior -

I recomend to you, try the Unimog Doka.

Hi Stefan, have you thought of perhaps something a little more modern? kinda newish and something that has been built for today's creature comforts and touring in mind for the Australian outback? the new iveco 4x4 is great but I am not too sure on what the costs are at for dual cab with the back sorted for touring? have you test driven one? and are you looking for something just as big or are you looking for more of a wagon again? Kind Regards George

Not sure why this 3 year old video came up in my suggestions now... But the size issues are something interesting. I'm a bit shorter than that (187) with a long torso, and i had no head issues while wearing the then issue steel helmet and going offroad. Given i only experienced the passenger seat(s) but we had tall guys (190-195) driving them with combat boots (which have little sole extensions in the front so you can fixate them on oldschool skibindings... Something tells me that the more comfortable 718 got less space than the older 710 and 712... Or it might be a right hand drive thing? The big black thing above the head at 6:08 is also something i don't remember beeing there in those.

Too bad ,looking forward to a camp conversion. I have more foot room in my 65 VW van. Looks like you already have a new truck , but a 78 series with a camper on the tray might work. You guys in Australia have so much more choices than we do than us in the States.(how about a 4x4 Sprinter?)

Why not consider installing some used SAAB seats? Beautifully comfortable, even heated and cooled. Easy to find .

Oh dear, I'm 6'7" and size 48/49 feet. I'm picking up a 710k on Friday and then driving from Scotland to Southampton, about 430 miles. I really hope I fit.

♥️

Oh...! It's sad that it couldn't get you accommodate properly inside of it... Such a capable vehicle it was... By the way, myself is also in search of a Pinzgauer 718k. Please guide me, how I can find one?

My aircooled gas 710K will go 110kph on flat, but is happier and quieter around 90-100kph.

thanks for video, I had trouble sleeping, this had me nodding right off no problems

You could always drive Thor around

Yeah Pinzgauer is like the Unimog a "work horse" comfort was not an option! Ha ha! Why not buy a portal Axel G Wagon or put Portals under a Discovery ? Maybe put a Patrol on Portals.

pinzgauer: best offroader, Austrian quality! 110kmh? we get ours up to 130kmh

Larges tires for Nature roads,,, plus 1,9 cdti 150hp...wild giat in all times

Sorry to sell the truck again. As a travel car he has a lot of possibilities. And he is a fantastic off road. But if the sitting position is not good. I wonder what car you are going to buy. Defender 130 maybe a option Stephan?

Jammerschade, aber absolut verständlich. Viel Glück beim Verkauf und mehr Glück mit dem nächsten Fahrzeug!!

If i way give a suggestion, a 2 inch body lift, would permit you to drop the floor on the driver side and give you the space needed. As for seat Mastercraft would give you even better result then any recaro seat.

genial delphdom

Ex Telsta or military Mitsubishi canter 4x4 would make a similar vehicle to the Pinzgauer but much more comfortable and parts availability.

Diese Bauweise ist irgendwie total weit weg vom normalen Leben 😎 , es sei denn der Fahrer ist unter 175 cm groß. Wenn ich mit meinen zwei Meter Größe daneben stehe, dann sieht der Pinzi aus wie ein höhergelegter Golf in dem ich nicht einsteigen will, weil ich nicht weiß wo ich meine Beine hinfalten soll. Solche Gedanken hatte ich des öfteren als ich auf dem Hof vom "Philipp aus dem Hanfbachtal" nach einer neuen Basis für ein Wohnmobil gesucht habe und unweigerlich an solche kleinen Pinzis vorbei kam. Fahre seit zwei Jahren einen robusten 93 er Ford Explorer 4.0 OHV mit dem ich jedes Jahr eine Fernreise mache. In dem Auto kann ich hinten bequem schlafen wenn es nötig ist und der robuste Motor hat mit der weichen Automatik eine gute Mischung für schweres Gelände wie 2017 in Russland.

How tall are you? I am looking into buying a pinzgauer and I'm curious if I have to worry.

Taking into account the severity of your medical problems have you considered the purchase of an ambulance?

same thing with me so i got my self a ex RAAF 4x4 Sprinter van. look then up.

What class licence do you need to drive one of these? C class or MR?

of course....problem is nowadays car are too confortable, you can't compare utility vehicles or trucks designed 30-40 years ago with the confort.... And once you got the utmost confort, hard to go back. And most of the driving in "big trips" is made on road...

Hey I am 6-4" tall or about 1.98 meters. You look fairly tall as well? I have wondered about leg and headroom in them as they are like hens teeth here , very hard to find in Canada.

i repaired a lot of Pinzgauers, when i was in the Austrian Army. They are great offroad vehicles, but there is no crumble zone. I would not want myself or my family in on of these on a trip.

Don't see these In Britain be nice maybe try a drive on one

oh maaaaaaaaaaaaan ... well I understand the reason. I really do. I would still keep it for at least one year, change the seat, prolong the driving wheel towards the driver seat. and at least you could keep for the kids. :deep breath: even if u dont have room in the shed can't u keep it outside ? but before selling it would you have at at least one weekend drive with it ?

Sorry, i fell asleep. What was that in 10 second point form again?

What sort of money are you looking for big red ?? Would really like to know

I am interested in a Pinzgauer myself, can I ask what sort of price range this vehicle is in??

Another case of someone trying to use a go anywhere workhorse as a daily driver. It was meant to take you through the worst conditions safely. It's not a soccer mom vehicle.

In a frontal collision you you probably loose your legs........for a replacement I'd want a L/R 130 with portals, commercial engine/transmission upgrade.......multi purpose vehicle to keep for life

that's a shame and very short lived what's next?

So really what it boils down to is that you do not fit the vehicle rather than the other way around. You forgot to mention the one big drawback which is that in the unfortunate event of an impact your legs are the impact zone.

My question is: How tall are you? Actually I have the same health problems, unfortunately due to some bike accidents. It must be serious problem, when you really decide to sell this beauty after such a short time. I hope you find another suitable vehicle soon.

Wow - I am in Australia and watch for these things being sold - didn't see this up for sale :-(

If you need comfort, sounds like you need a Discovery 2 Td5 ;-)

Buyers remorse

Not to mention you would loose your legs in a minor front accident ......

Did you deleted your Pinzgauer videos made in Tasmania?

Buy a p38, comfortable and capable.

take a land cruiser hzj78, then you have same space and muych better driving position, better than the deffender also.

Hello, is Pinzgauer still there? How much is it?

Did this one came from SGB ???

Must be nice being a millionaire 😎

Ähmm... your accent... sounds damn deep German... richtig oder? Still Pinzgauer for President... best time at Austrian Military was "driving" to Locations with this thing... driving, its more waiting for the Location comes to u

You need a Land Cruiser.

Ah. The key words, “I have never taken it off-road”. Question. Why would you buy an extremely capable off-road vehicle?

no good mate u should of tried it before hand

why didn't you just go for a landcruiser or patrol

Hang on , wait you sold the defender!! No !

After 2 days? I had an air cooled 710M and it wasn't too noisy on long drives. I would have given one of my nuts to have a 718.

try a delica

What kind of a nutcase purchases a Pinzgauer like this and hasn't driven it off road?

Why give it a promo when you do not give it your your time........it's like you give a car a promo after a four week ownership Sttuff good luck with that....... Land Rover most awarded 4WD world.......... to date .......daughter or not

You sell it because you don't live on the Alps...
