Why I Bought It
I’ve always been drawn to classic, rugged vehicles with a story, and the Pinzgauer 710 MS checked all the boxes. When I found this one with a Croatian farmer, I knew it was a rare opportunity. Its uncompromising design, military durability, and off-road prowess made it the perfect choice for someone who values adventure and reliability. I also wanted something unique—something you don’t see every day on the road.
Why It Stands Out
The Pinzgauer isn’t just another classic 4x4—it’s a purpose-built machine with engineering ahead of its time. Portal axles, a central tube chassis, fully independent suspension, and a powerful air-cooled engine make it virtually unstoppable in tough terrain. Unlike many vintage off-roaders, it’s also surprisingly comfortable and has a high payload capacity, making it both practical and fun.
What Makes It Unique
There’s nothing quite like a Pinzgauer. It’s a true military workhorse, designed to operate in the toughest conditions, from deserts to mountains. The iconic boxy design, combined with its six-passenger capacity and serious off-road capabilities, makes it stand out in a crowd of conventional 4x4s. Plus, the original military green finish gives it an unmistakable presence wherever it goes.
Restoration & Customisation Potential
This Pinzgauer has been partially refurbished and repaired, ensuring it remains in great working condition while preserving its classic appeal. However, there’s still plenty of room for improvement and customisation, making it the perfect project for an enthusiast. Whether you want to restore it further, modify it for overlanding, or keep it as a collector’s piece, this vehicle offers endless possibilities.
My Favourite Thing About This Classic
The best part about this Pinzgauer is the feeling of total freedom when driving it. Whether it’s cruising through rough trails or just enjoying the raw mechanical connection to the road, it’s an experience that modern vehicles simply can’t replicate. The combination of ruggedness, simplicity, and capability makes every journey feel like an adventure.
