I sincerely doubt that that is a 1962 Haflinger!

Rollbar, fuel tank, side repeater indicators, rear light clusters, gear stick base plate, dashboard instruments, sideboards, etc all look more like 1972 than 1962.

£3,500 ish, seems pretty reasonable if its as good 'below' as outwardly.
Doesn't look too bad but a good look would be worthwhile.
A bit far for me though!
Best Regards

It looks right, I have seen other 62 ish models built very similarly. I refer to them as Series 1.5, or transitional design models. Notice the front turn signals are early Bosch, roll bar is early (first revision)round tube type, front side marker lamps look like flat mounted UK spec and there are no rear side marker lamps or mountings.


FWIW:My notes on roll bar versions,(as I have observed while doing inspections/repairs) first bars (very early )were just simple pipe like hoops, 1st revision, heavier round tubing with forward support leg and diagonal center braces , 2nd revision has square tubing, 3 point seat belt mountings and attributes from 1st revision.
The last variation is whether or not the bar has door hinges or latch guides.

Jim, you could well be right, but I always thought that the tank only moved to below a front seat with the Series 2 Haflingers, i.e. from about 1967 onwards.

For my money, this is an early 1970s series 2, 700APT, the most common type found in Australia. There were more of this type exported here than any other. If this one is mechanically sound with minimal rust, the asking price might be close to the mark. Only an inspection will tell. Rick
