1960 PORSCHE

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at the NEC Classic Motor Show 2026 on Sunday the 15th of November, NEC, Birmingham, B40 1NT.

Produced by Porsche-Diesel during an intriguing chapter in the company's history, the Junior 108 was the smallest model in the range and today represents an appealing and rather unusual piece of Porsche heritage

Dating from 1960 and believed to have originally been supplied in Denmark, this Porsche-Diesel Junior 108 has been with its current owner for the last eight years, and was UK-registered in 2019

Powered by the model's 822cc naturally-aspirated, single-cylinder air-cooled diesel engine, with three forward gears and reverse together with high and low range ratios

Importantly, the tractor retains much of its original paint and wonderfully aged patina, increasingly unusual as many examples have subsequently been repainted

Finished in Carmine Red (historically referred to as Porsche-Diesel Rot) with a matching chassis and components, carrying 'Porsche-Diesel' lettering, complemented by a red seat

Usefully equipped with a three-point linkage and PTO, allowing a variety of implements to be used. Our vendor has employed the Junior for grassland maintenance, principally mowing, harrowing and rolling

During current ownership, electrical and engine work has been carried out with an emphasis on refurbishment rather than replacement wherever possible. The front lights and work light, for example, retain their original housings, whilst the starter key is believed to be original

Compact and characterful, these little Porsche tractors have developed an enthusiastic following and, whether pressed into service for those important jobs around the garden, whatever its size, or simply enjoyed as an unusual piece of Stuttgart history, this delightful Junior 108 offers Porsche ownership of a rather different kind
