At first glance you could be forgiven for thinking that Moto Laverda and Steyr -Daimler-Puch, who build the Pinzgauer 4x4, had struck some sort of deal between them, so striking are the resemblances between the two machines.

In reality, one has to assume it is merely the result of two independent manufacturers coming up with more or less the same answer after being confronted by similar problems: quite a common occurrence in the motor industry. However, the Pinzgauer was conceived very nearly 20 years before the Italian job.
