The truck division was bought by MAN, the arnoured vehicle division became part of General Dynamics, contract manufacturing (e.g. Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen) became MagnaSteyr, don't know about the small arms. EDIT: The group was called Steyr-Daimler-Puch, and it was broken up in 1990. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steyr-Daimler-Puch -- Last edit: 2010-11-06 11:17:52

G-MANN ◊ 2013-01-15 21:44	Dunno, must have overlooked it. By the way, thanks for carrying on the work I did I know I didn't come back to this page after one night doing regrouping work. But now there are 140 less vehicle entries on the Top Gear page Although my upgraded Broadband connection means this page loads much quicker now anyway. -- Last edit: 2013-01-15 21:49:06
