Re: Where was my Haflinger Made

Thanks Constantin! Garry, I have heard of a number of private imports into Australia. Thanks to Constantins detective work, a Haffie recently for sale in WA was identified as being an import from Africa and originally owned by a missionary. The Wagenstammkarte should provide the answer to your quest...

Re: Moderating new users

Looks like members 37 to 51 ( as of now) are all dodgy. Can they be removed?

Re: Where was my Haflinger Made

Garry Forgot to add note about compliance plates. The Australian Design Rules (ADR) came into force in May 1972, and at that time only related to seat belts and some other safety features. Subsequently some Haflingers were fitted with ADR compliance plates, and some were not. I spoke a few years ago...

Re: Where was my Haflinger Made

Hi Garry Im afraid there is no registry as such. My first suggestion would be to obtain the Wagenstammkarte as recommended by Constantin. Ive attached a copy for one of my beasties, obtained via Dale at Haflinger Technik. You can see who the vehicle was sold to- in this case it was Anti-Friction Bea...

Hi Jim

Nice work on the kommunal haffi, and the improvided trailer is great. Nice too that you have retained the original wheels and tyres. Look forward to hearing of your adventures.

Do the Moderators have the authority to remove the offending messages? This may help in the short term.

Re: Max from Italy

Hi Max. Nice that you could find Indonesian Army Haflingers. They are interesting as they I believe we're the first to use the cyclonic air filters up front and the tropical air vents- but still retains the provision for the convoy light. Is your plan to return it to original? Agree with Lenny that ...

Re: How do you use your Haflinger?

I'm lucky to only work 10 minutes from home, so I will sometimes drive my Pathfinder haffie to work and back. Although I can only get it to 80 km/h, it keeps up with Sydney traffic very well. It's certainly a head-turner, and I quite like that. It also gives me a feeling of how life was once before ...

Australian Army Haflinger Restoration

Hello. Just introducing myself with a restoration project completed last March. Its an original ex-Australian Army Haflinger 700 APTL, Army Registration Number ARN 101-820. This is one of only 15 or so that I know remaining from 50 produced in early 1966. Ive tried to restore it to original as possi...
