Looks like it was built by a blind man who had heard of "one of those Citroen beach buggy things"
Yuk. Nearly as ugly as an Iltis.

Function over form ,certainly never saw a body styling group.

Try and do this in an Iltis (or anything else for that matter)

From what I hear you're no oil painting yourself ........

Leave the poor little thing alone ...... never did you any harm!

You are special ....

That's a bit near the knuckle, Paddy! Meet me an event, then you'll know just how special

Pay no attention to SPaddy. He's always saying silly things. (Just look at the 16"alloy thread for example!)

Thanks Karl. It's not as if I even know the bloke!

Back on topic...I've watched that video clip again and realized just how small that thing is! Like a 4wd minimoke - with no rollover protection
Now this is also worrying:
Check out the jerk who runs past as it mounts the rock, then the kids who are standing right next to the wheels while parked up

Haflingers predate the crappy plastic Citroen dyane based Méhari buggy though! Perhaps the Haf inspired Citroen to make the 4WD Méhari in the early 80's on the other hand? (was there an 80's model that didn't recive some form of 4WD offshoot?)

I love the basic unstyled style of the Haflinger. Its a bit like a series 1 Land-Rover in the way its that shape because its the simplest most practical way of covering whats needed and despite that it looks pritty good. In both cases when they tried to style it it didn't really gain anything/improve it, infact polycab Hafs are ugly - pallet on wheels with low top speed and a plastic cab is just too much like a milkfloat to make it credable, put credable as an off roader a proper Haf certainly is! Shame about the rust issues but then most are over 40 now.

Haflingers were never designed to be pretty, they were designed to do a job.
Their main job (other than military applications) was to carry milk urns or bales of hay on alpine farms on "paths" where otherwise only a real Haflinger would dare to tread.

And all that for little money and with the engine from a Fiat 500
