Hi, sadly I can't keep my Pinzgauer. We're a family of four and it's excellent for two, and ok for two and a half
So here goes:
Base vehicle: Pinzgauer 712 6x6 built in 1981 so the second generation galvanized body. 2.5 litre petrol aircooled engine runs like a Swiss watch. Auxiliary tank down the centre "trough" (I've never run it dry, but over 300 litres), enlarged main tank. Brand new batteries, long range travel kit includes axle boot, filters, gearbox additives and a new clutch plate. Good Nokian snow tyres all round, two spare tyres unused, a full set of snow chains.
At 80 kph on the freeway uses 14l/100km, at 95kph uses 19l/100km!!! This vehicle has no power steering and drum brakes; you need strong arms do direct it on tar and a heavy foot to stop it. On gravel and other loose surfaces it's astonishing how easy it is to steer.
Camper body: Hard sided lifting roof body built by Action Mobil. Button operated hydraulic ram lifts the roof. Slatted double bed over cab 140cm wide, storage next to the bed. Kitchen with two burner hob and plenty of cupboards. Under counter compressor fridge.
3 seat dinette which can also be converted into a single bed.
Heated by a Webasto Thermo Top through radiators dotted about the cabin. The Webasto has the altitude kit and works fantastically even at 4000m in the Altiplano!
Wet "room" is the entrance way, with slatted floor and drain direct into the grey water tank. Drop down sink, mixer tap with shower head and porta potti on a roll out dolly.
Seitz double glazed windows all round and a large roof hatch which will have a brand new piano hinge very soon.
I collect it from the valet tomorrow so will be able to post some pics of the interior, here are some exterior pics:
The vehicle is in Glastonbury, Somerset, UK. It will be UK registered shortly.
Considering the age of the base vehicle import to the US shouldn't be a problem, there are many more experienced than I on this subject. I can deliver it to a port of choice at buyer's expense; it fits neatly onto a 20 foot flat rack and has travelled all over by container ship.
The price at the moment is 15000 pounds sterling. This will probably increase as I fix the various bits and bobs that I have never needed to do before but that a new owner might prefer fixed.
Contact me through the forum or directly on 00447484842021.
I look forward to hearing from you
