Description from the seller

Restored authentic Puch 230G, registered with 9 seats (2 x rear trunk bench, each one for two persons), ex Police car.

Possible worldwide delivery.

Many pictures available.
Videocall/FaceTime can be done and is recommended.

Steyr-Puch 230G
2.3 petrol engine - 90 hp
4-speed manual gearbox
24V electrical system
Front and rear differential locks
Factory metal sunroof (manual, never broken)
Registered with 9 seats
Left hand drive

Rust free and in absolutely gorgeous condition, with extensive work carried out.
It still retains the original 24V system and the heavy-duty upgrades typical of utilitarian-spec vehicles, designed for durability and reliability in demanding conditions, while now offering a far more enjoyable driving experience after the complete restoration process.

Whether driving to the theatre, spending a weekend at your mountain chalet, or heading into a remote overland adventure, this Puch always feels right — combining classic elegance with true durability and capability.

Complete original under-seat utility kit, including the factory-mounted axe and shovel.
Original 24V external power/jump-start connection retained, together with the dedicated factory cables. 
Original socket on the car, and dedicated cable for keeping the engine worm in cold condition.

The car has been fully disassembled and painted inside and out in Mercedes G class color Colorado Beige, using genuine Glasurit paint and clear coat.

The following parts have been sand blasted and powder coated in satin black (far more durable than conventional paint):

- front bumper
- front grill
- engine shield
- rear bumper left and right
- mud flap supports
- side mirrors arms
- spare wheel carrier
- rear brake drums
- headlight protection grills

Painted with satin black:
- air filter box
- bonnet reinforcement rails
- batteries hold-down brackets

On all 5 doors, the floor, inside C pillars and inside the trunk to rear fenders, has been added a layer of soundproofing STP Gold.

On all 4 side windows from doors - inside out brand new gaskets and trims together with new vapor barriers.

Genuine steel wheels have been sand blasted and powder coated in Mercedes satin silver, fitted with brand new Yokohama Geolandar AT, and brand new Puch wheel caps.


The car now features an upgraded audio system using a Continental DAB Bluetooth head unit for music and calls, paired with two sets of Hertz speakers. Also, has been added a separate antenna and microphone.

The original, black interior, is in absolute great condition, with no broken, cut, or damaged parts. Everything works exactly as it should.

Other new parts:
- front windshield
- 230G logo x 2, from side mirrors (NOS - very hard to find)
- trunk door logo Steyr Daimler Puch
- headlights (NOS) genuine Mercedes W460
- inside buttons (genuine from Puch)
- bonnet stoppers
- genuine mud flaps
- Varta Silver battery
- plate number supports
- zinc plated all hinges, latches and all other metal parts
- new screws, fixing clamps, and other small things, all bought from Puch directly

Work to mechanic:
- front and rear new shock absorbers
- Handbrake shoe set
- engine oil and filters
- front and rear differentials serviced means deep clean, new oil and gasket
- gearbox oil
- disassembled the whole heating system, check, cleaning, new radiator, mounting back
- brake fluid
- coolant

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
