My latest Vehicle
I've just brought a Steyr Puch LWB diesel picked it up from Devon and drove it faultless up to North Yorkshire.
you'd expect at least another 10years out of the swb too, there are LRs on the road that are 50 years old
Nice LWB.... tasty! 
R49 OTF, That's one of the original ones imported by Auto Techniques. Has featured in a few magazine articles. Great G
Very Nice Griff...
That LWB looks the business.
Congrats.
how does it compare with the w463 swb for fuel

I filled the car up to the top & checked the mileage at Torquay where I brought the car and drove it to Trowbridge Wiltshire to overnight (135miles) with my brother I then filled it to the top again then checked the MPG it recorded 28 mpg that's on the A37 A303 and the minor roads.
I then drove up the M4 /M5 A38 keeping it to about 65/68 mph and filled up at Derby again filled to the top and worked the mpg it was 27 mpg! the mpg is much better than I expected.
I drove it on to the Bishop Auckland and on to Whitby I'm using it around and will check it when it's under half a tank. It's expensive to fill the 95 litre tank.
Griff,
It looks a really great truck and a great find. Would love to see some more pictures.

I will take some pictures Tim as soon as I can it will be in a few weeks time.
been it that very vehicle off road.
Hi Prwales
The sort of mileage I got out of my six cylinder 463 manual was around 22 mpg that was local driving, it was only used around Whitby.
I have a very modern E220 CDI for long drives and it's good on fuel.
Hi Griff, that's not far away from mine, I get 19/20 for my manual ges 300 petrol, like yours a manual in mixed driving
