I have decided that the time has come to sell my Haflinger and I am interested to gauge the degree of interest. It went to the Classic Car Show at NEC in March 2019 and generated quite a lot of attention.
The vehicle is a Steyr Puch Haflinger 700 AP. It was first registered in May 1973 by my father and has been in the family ever since. It was used on the family estate in the Lake District for many years. After my father’s farming days ended, it was stored in a barn until (unbeknown to the family) it was moved to a Dutch barn and was exposed to the elements for some time until it was rescued and put into more weather-proof storage. But by then some corrosion had occurred principally to the boxes below the rear deck..
It emerged from there in 2011 and after some work, successfully passed an MOT. It had very little use and, since that MOT expired it has been subject to an SORN and kept in warm, dry storage in Yorkshire.
It is largely complete and is running; everything seems to work. However the heat exchangers are missing and the battery box was removed at some stage to allow a badly fabricated non-standard exhaust to be fitted. The spare wheel carrier is damaged but it does have an original tow bar fitted.
It comes with a variety of spares including four refurbished wheels and new Maloya tyres. I also have a battery box for refurbishment and a made to measure waterproof cover from Specialised Covers. The sale will include the original handbook as well as both parts and service manuals.
Is anyone interested?

Re: Haflinger for sale
Hi, hope you find some one to buy it - might help to put a value you are expecting on it. Also as it was registered in1973 it no longer requires an MOT to be used on the road. You still have to apply for the road fund licence (road tax) although that is also free. So all it actually needs is insurance and for it to be “roadworthy”. Quite how you prove that I don’t know but as long as the main safety items checked during an MOT are good, that should be enough for Mr. Plod.

You need to have made at least 3 posts as far as I can remember before you can use the PM system.
Also I would not advise putting email addresses or phone numbers in posts as you might end up getting spammed!

Re: Haflinger for sale
I've just had this brought to my attention and I have not been on the forum for a while because the Haflinger was sold back in July. My apologies to anyone whose hopes may have been raised!
