The record

The 712 shared the 710’s front half and engine and added a driven bogie whose two axles pivoted on the backbone; it was the more common Pinzgauer in Swiss service and with civilian expedition owners, and the 718 of 1986 continued it with the Volkswagen diesel.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
