Note: It's come to my attention that if you are using FIREFOX you may not be able to vote as the "voting button" does not appear.

Option 1:
The latest variant of the factory standard 716/718 nose.

Option 2:
A prototype design first shown to the public in 2005/2006 at a British Military Show.

Option 3:
A prototype design first shown to the public in 2007 at an Australian Military Show.

Hmmm....Interesting to see that options 1 & 2 are pretty much level pegging to date, and that 3 is in the minority.

One of my perceived benefits of the Pinz design is the view down out the windshield; options 1 through 3 get progressively worse, with the "new" design just terrible at being able to see what you are comming across.

Well I've gone with 2 cause being tall it looks like there's a bit more head room + the side windows are taller. Shame they hadn't raised the rear canvas to match!

I went with option 4. The P80s were by far the nicest looking TDs...
but , then again, I may be a bit prejudice.

btw, it's just like Peter to leave the best out... put a write-in vote for #4.

Come on Dave, we're living in a new century

P80's have gone the way of Haflingers and air-cooled Pinny's

Well , you might, but I won't go without kicking and screaming!

Is living in a new century, a good reason for being butt ugly? ..... the new Pinz that is...

... I have no excuse for myself

Here you are Dave.... Just for you! .... A P80

Thanks Peter, but I'm kind of partial to this one

btw I remember back then when "hot" colors were the norm for cars..... didn't like them then, don't like them now

Add two extra wheels Dave, and it would be P-E-R-F-E-C-T!

I love "option 1" but being 6'5" tall "option 2" will give me a greater comfort.

Best Regards,

Jacques

It looks like all who are going to vote have voted, and the current model "nose design" is the winner.

(Option 2 was a little behind in the preferred shape, but still more than "acceptable")

Nice to see that sanity (and good design taste) prevails!

for those who just did not get enough of the new design, check out this webpage, a 21 picture walk around of the truck.

I was interested in the 16x7.5J Split Rim Wheels that were fitted with tubeless tyres. The Patent is still pending on these but a warning is stamped suggesting deflation before disassembly!

I should imagine that puncture repair or tyre (tire) replacement could be very quick and require only a spanner!

can any one through some light on these?

The other thing of note are the lights front and rear but particularly the front. Are these Bi Projector xenon types?

Are these Bi Projector xenon types?

Hmmm....Could be.
The thing I noticed re the lights is that the "original light pod" (like on our 710's/712's) is still visible from the inside of the cabin

THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

Which front do you prefer?
