Neglected Pinz Contest - post them if you've got them
OK - so it is the end of March and normally I would have already started working on my Hafi but oh no - not this year!
It was -15C this morning and this cold, lack of Spring weather is starting to wear on me so...
I am just posting for some fun as I am still stuck inside and going mad!
Post pictures of poor neglected Pinzgauers (guess the one below gave me the idea)
1 picture per post - most neglected Pinz (judged by a Poll later) gets a Genuine 100% Authentic Collectors Haflinger stamp directly from Osterreich!!
Wow, that is an amazing prize for a Pinzgauer competition
No wrecked Pinzi's just neglected.
I will start the fun off with this gem from the classifieds (no offense to sellor):

I "love" how there is no end of abused Hafi pics in the inter-webs, but almost all photos of Pinzi paint the vehicles in the most rugged and ready of conditions. Someone MUST have a photo of a Quebec Pinz with a "sale superleggera" frame.

At least that 712 is likely to go back together again, I'd think.

Found this (thanks to Google) on a local classifieds website, as illustration posted by someone looking for Pinz spares:
My vote goes to the Hawaiian Pinz with foliage on the wheels!!

Re: Neglected Pinz Contest - post them if you've got them
Abused and destroyed are what most of those are.
A drivetrain in a workshop is the furthest from being neglected
Though this isn’t what you imagine when you say “neglected” but fits the definition perfectly.
Only 262 miles from new, and left in a back field of a 220 acre fenced facility in south Texas for over 10 years.
Doesn't look too bad in the rain

It's pains me to know that I drive right by the place it sat and I never knew it. I even have a connection through work there. I'm friends with the owner of the hose company that had the contract for Stewart & Stevenson.

Ed, I have seen that six-by chassis sitting there for years. At least 5 years that I can remember.
