Found it on Kijiji and snapped it up.
Owner was a Chrysler Engineer and went to Graz when they were building the RHD Cherokee.
Some great pictures (no time to read anything yet as it just arrived but very detailed history)

Its a nice book, but don't take all that is written as gossip....I think you'll find the glaring error quick enough.
And I'm not going to tell!

Ok good challenge!
Unfortunately, it will be a bit of a wait for me - got home, showed wife and she took it for kids to give me for fathers day

If you want books on Steyr Puch, their Engineering/Design, the proto's, the factory, the cars, etc, etc, your better getting:
PUCH-AUTOMOBILE 1900-1990 by Friedrich F Ehn,
PUCH Eine Entwichlungsgeschichte by Egon Rudolf
.....but to get the most out of them you'll need to be able to read Austrian/German
something I can't do (but Google Translate is invaluable), however the pics are an infinite source of interest!!
