My wife would kill me but I so want one of these to round out my SDP collection - you know... one of each
Do the Puch's have locking diff's all around - I thought I read something about them not having?
If you have to have one there were several in Montreal when I visited Pinz Canada this summer (all soft tops, military, around $15K). He also had had one lonely 701M left. (only 2 rear seats and no tools etc. about 13000 km. A very nice project)
Lockers are options on these but generally you will find rear lockers at the minimum. I can see in the pics of this one that it has front and rear. The two pull knobs are to the left/bottom of the shifter, close to the seat.

They were sold as Puch's in Austria and the Czech Republic - or at least that was what I have been told...
I like the Puch version myself - but this one has MB wheels unfortunately... although that can be dealt with parts from one of the G-wagen parts places.

The steel wheels (like on the spare tire in the photos) are exactly the same as what is used on the MB and Freightliner Sprinters - so they are fairly easy to get - there are plastic puch center caps for these rims that snap in:
The wheels in these pics are from a new MB and I think make it look horrible. The MB/FL van wheels have different off-sets and are not exactly the same. Check this list for more: http://www.rubicon-trail.com/G-Class/wheels/start.html

Agreed
He states that it is all great and solid but one mans "surface rust" (seller) is another mans nightmare (buyer)!
I like it but it would have to inspected top to bottom - rear door sides, under the nice rubber floor mats, etc etc etc
Then there's the mechanicals
