Sunshine, it's a Pinzgauer ..belonging to the Royal Thai Army ;.I shot it in Sakon Nakhon a few years ago .

That's why I dropped the name!

Back in 1990 on a break from covering events in Kampooch and the Middle East,

I attended the last IBC (International Broadcasting Convention) held in Brighton

in the UK. I met the UK dealer of Pinzgauer and we had a chat...a long chat.

I received a nice quotation, began to arrange the transfer of $$$$...BTW not as

expensive as I initially thought...then I was called back to Southeast Asia so

everything was put on hold. Then Gulf War 1 started so the hold continued and

eventually it was forgotten.

My plan was to purchase the "P" in the UK, have some custom work done on it

& get the VAT back when I got to France & then drive the thing to Hong Kong where

I was living at the time. And shoot/produce a corporate video for Pinzgauer of the

journey...hence a decent price on the truck.

Wars tend to get in the way & mess up really good ideas.

Mind you...I'd still love a 6 wheeler P now. Great vehicles...seriously great

vehicles.
