Ben T.: Thanks. This may well have been what it was, especially if you have seen one in person and know that it is about the size of a Syncro.  Cool pictures.

Mark,

I am attaching PICS of a Pinzgauer owned by a fellow at I met at Bug-O-Rama
in Sacramento. Nicknamed PINZILLA. It s about the same size as a Syncro. This
one is a troop carrier with canvas rear.

Good used examples can be found stateside for about $5000. I believe
production of these guys have moved to the UK from the SDP plant in Graz,
Austria since the Brits decided to use these guys for their military.

Unfortunately, the List Server does not permit attachments. So only Mark will
receive it wit this posting. Pmail me if you want to see the PIC as well.
