It is the immediate predecessor of the G wagen (its daddy) (noting that the Puch-G is not really a Mercedes Benz as it is not made by MB but is sold by them). The G wagen has also been badged as a Peugeot.

Staying slightly off topic (I have not heard anything about this rollover in the AU G-community yet)
Speaking of Puch, I recently visited the Johann Puch Museum in Graz, Austria. Its a big shed which is very packed with all sorts of stuff.
It contains many items from the Steyr-Daimler-Puch factory (now Magna Steyr, founded 1864) and is was very interesting to see how many things this 'contract manufacturer / engineering shop' invented and made for various manufacturers along with a lot of prototyping.
The Puch brand made bicycles, motorbikes and mopeds. Steyr brand trucks.
The assembly line where the Haflinger/Pinzgauer was made was taken over by G-wagen production. G's in Austria were branded 'Puch' not Mercedes and for the French Army were 'P4' which used Peugeot engines. G's were also assembled in Turkey from a CKD kit.
They invented and made the 4WD system for G-wagen, VW Golf Country, VW Synchro, Benz E-matic, Jeep Grand Cherokee (some of which had a badge on the back "Made in Austria") 4WD Fiat Panda, PUch 650TR (like a Fiat 500)
They made the aluminium body of the Mercedes SLS, the stretched body (5-door) for the Aston Martin DB9 Rapide, the KTM Crossbow sports car. Hydrogen storage tanks for cars.
The facrory probably a lot of other stuff which did not make it to the museum. Unfortunatly I did not get to the factory itself.
They currently make the BMW Mini, X3, X5, Z4 and 5-series, Jaguar E-Pace, I-Pace, new Toyota Supra. And many others in the past.
If you ever get over to that part of Europe check it out (along with the Mercedes and Porsche museums in Stuttgart)
They even a created a differential used in Toyota Landcruisers. Anyone recognise this?

They also make the transfer cases for modern Land Rovers and the main rifle used by the Australian Army.

Wpuld you be interested in being part of a filming day out with defender90 orkney and a military mog for his youtibe channel?
That way you'll always have a cool edit available to show friends on YouTube this beast of a rig
100lt aux tank is still getting made (8week lead time) so unfortunately fuel on the roof for this trip was the only option. vehicle is already in process of being fixed.

Just seen this pic pop up in my feed and immediately thought about the weight on the roof.
There is just too much going on up there.
The roof rack should only legally carry 100kgs on it so if insurance companies wanted to play hard ball and knock back the claim they could very easily of done so.
I just hope he's lucky enough to get the whole thing resolved without any problems
