I am a Murtaler - Puch Haflinger 700 AP

In the Puch Museum in Judenburg you will find many vehicles with a special history. One vehicle immediately catches the eye when you enter the museum. The Puch Haflinger 700 AP stands stately among its colleagues. Actually, it is a Vorarlberger and only later decided to move to Murtal. In December 1962, he was delivered to the Lands Gendarmerie Kommando Vorarlberg and was one of 20 in the first series for the gendarmerie. He kept law and order in our country and was put through his paces in rough terrain. Later, the Haflingers were replaced by more modern vehicles and conquered the collectors' hearts of Puch lovers. This is also how our Puch Haflinger 700 AP came to the Murtal and took up residence in the Puch Museum in the historic town of Judenburg. Here he is admired and marvelled at by young and old. On special occasions, he leaves his four walls at home and roars through the beautiful Murtal, for example at the traditional Puch Parade on 15th August.

In July, he received a very special honour. At the Formula 1 drivers' parade, he was allowed to exclusively chauffeur Lewis Hamilton around the Red Bull Ring, who visibly enjoyed the stylish ride. Since then, many visitors come to the Puch Museum and want to take a seat in the very vehicle in which their idol sat. This naturally makes the Puch Haflinger 700 AP very happy and fills him with pride.
