The Model:

First introduced in 1959, the Steyr-Puch Haflinger was conceived as a compact, go-anywhere vehicle for both military and civilian use. Named after the hardy Haflinger mountain horse, it was designed to traverse the most challenging alpine terrain. The brainchild of Erich Ledwinka—son of the legendary Hans Ledwinka—it features a rear-mounted, air-cooled flat-twin engine, all-wheel drive and portal axles for exceptional ground clearance. This particular 1962 example is a desirable Series II, equipped with the 643cc engine. Many variants were produced over the model's life, each continually evolving.

Sale Insight:

This 1962 Steyr Puch Haflinger represents a great opportunity for collectors and off-road enthusiasts alike. Its honest condition, low UK ownership count and active connection to the enthusiast community make it an ideal candidate for both use and preservation.
