Early Pinzgauer promotional video (1970's)

Promotional video for early Pinzgauer vehicles - models "710" (4x4) and "712" (6x6). Includes rare RDTE, proving ground and production line footage.
Pinzgauer was designed by Steyr-Daimler-Puch's chief engineer Erich Ledwinka and originally manufactured at SDP's plant in Graz-Thondorf, Austria. It was a robust, yet lightweight and agile off-road vehicle, intended for tough military use. Production began in the early 1970's. No-compromise design and smart choice of technical features (e.g. air-cooled petrol engine, tubular chassis, independent suspension, portal axles, differential locks, etc.) made it especially suitable for use in harsh alpine conditions.
Even today, forty odd years later, some well preserved examples of this expensive and unusual vehicle still remain in military service, or are being taken off-road by private owners. This is a testimony to Pinzgauer's durablility and advanced design.
