To acalthu- Scared NO....concerned yes! I would rather not put 18k worth of truck on its side...ya know. I will let you ride shotgun in my 62' Unimog & I bet I will have you begging to get out! MrLucy.

I was discussing where they're made, not their origins. And if you watch Top Gear vs D-Motor, you'll see country of origin is up for debate too these days. :D
@SteyrMF: From about the end of 2000, all Pinzgauers were built in UK by Automotive Technik Ltd, all the production jigs having been moved from the factory in Graz. To comply with emission regs, we then fitted a new VW 5-cylinder diesel engine with more power, upgraded the transmission and strengthened the suspension. We also standardised on wider wheels and tyres. Some components were supplied by Magna Steyr and original companies, but many were supplied from the UK industry. Now owned by BAe
@Gruntphuttock But it is the Idea wich counts! Everybody is able to build a car with the plans! But to invent the best off- road vehicle in the world is another story! So it is an Austrian vehicle, without a dought!
@Gruntphuttock You´re absulutely right, but its the same with the mexico beetle (I think you know that), they gave the plans to mexico and they built the beetle till the 80´s^^!
@acalthu: You are right, they were built by Automotive Technik Ltd. (See above comment) ATL were taken over by US company Stewart & Stevenson, who were subsequently taken over by Armor Holdings and they were bought out by British Aerospace Inc., the Pinzgauer production remaining in UK throughout and eventually becoming part of BAE Land Systems. They, for reasons best known to themselves, have discontinued it and I have no idea what their plans are for the vehicle, if any. It was a sad day.
@Gruntphuttock Apparently the reason for them being discontinued is because the British Army were complaining that they are not safe for operation in Iraq and Afghanistan because they are vulnerable to IEDs, etc even after having armour upgrades. It does not stop them from being one of the best offroaders in the world and I imagine the armour upgrades would have put a lot of extra weight on it thus effecting its offroad capability.
Sounds like he pulled the exhaust pipe off, for some reason the stock exhaust pipe has a massive silencer box and is about the only vulnerable thing that hangs down on a pinzgauer. It sticks down just in front of the rear wheels.
Take a look at the toureg and fj cruiser in the background. "So, what am i suppose to do?" Haha, although I deeply respect both of them don't think I would go to length and scratch them. That's the truth, new cars are just too new, get em while they're rustin!

Not at all, I've been in a few crawlers in my time riding shotgun obviously. I love being precariously perched on the edge.

The Pinzgauer is built in Austria, not in Switzerland or Germany, and it is the best off- road vehicle in the world!

Doesn't BAE have an interest in it as well? I could've sworn these were built in the UK too.

For a short time, yes. But just because it was shortly built there, these cars wich left the factory in uk, aren´t british!

Yeah he poped the exhaust apart at a joint. He pushed it back together after he got home, no damage :)
Yup, Jeep, FJ Cruiser, Toureg, take the easy line :)
