1972 Pinzgauer 710M NATO Troop Carrier

The Steyr-Daimler-Puch Pinzgauer is renowned as one of the toughest and most capable off-road vehicles of its time, particularly among the military service members who used them extensively on deployment. Steyr-Daimler-Puch named the Pinzgauer for the Austrian breed of horse, now commonly known as the Noriker, which became famous for its ability cross varied terrain over the Alps from Austria to Italy. It has built a cult following. The first Pinzgauers were delivered to customers in 1971, almost all of whom were militaries including the armed forces of the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Austria, the United States, Malaysia, New Zealand, Argentina, Bolivia, Cyprus, Lebanon, Lithuania, Macedonia, Montenegro, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, and Venezuela. Amazing authentic addition to props to raise the value of any independent film production. Still used by the military and NATO to this day. Even British royalty currently use this vehicle for major events such as military demonstrations and funerals. Perfect for major productions as well. Soldiers quickly came to praise this vehicle for its easy driving and for its load carrying capacity – they can transport up to 10 people or two NATO pallets. Pinzgauer’s primary competition – the Land Rover Defender, the Unimog, and the Humvee.
