G’Day All,
It’s a P93 imported from the UK…..the new owner has been hanging out to get it.
Only the later AT manufactured Pinzgauers had the VW TD 5 cylinder motors, whereas the earlier SDP (and early AT units) Pinzgauers had the VW 2.4, 6 cylinder TD’s (D24T)
Early version had a non-intercooled motor, but P93’s had an intercooler fitted.
Part of the reason the Pinzgauers were fitted with VW diesels is a direct result of Steyr Puch working with VW to develop the Syncro system at the time…..it’s believed that this was a mutual/part payment system
I’m currently restoring a similar unit, but it won’t be ready for some years yet.

Spoted this Late model 6×6 Pinz in Brisbane. Ex Fire Brigade Imported from the Uk got to climb in and take a few photos. Surprising that there is not alot of room in them for how big they are. This one was auto. A later model with 5 Cylinder vw diesel power plant. At $400 per tyre I woild not like the running costs and the low highway speed. Looks menacing thought - big cousin of Syncro.. Not sure what the owner had in mind for it.. Taking private school leavers to a formal perhaps? ; )
