A bit of a stinker for you.

Looks rather Fiat based, on a 850 possibly?

Right sort of family.
Best I can come up with I think!
Wheels and rear lights look 850 and very low front and air intakes? on the front of the rear wings suggest rear engine,
Can see why it didn.t find many buyers though!

As it was a real nasty and I don't think anyone will get it.

It's a Seat Gabor based on a 600d platform.

Don't think I've seen or heard about that one, but nice to know istincts are ok!

Good picture but I think I'd have strung it out a bit longer smile

Ok, Its a Porsche Junior withs "streamlining" to allow it to be used in coffee plantations without catching the beans, approx 7 made and this is the only one in complete and running order.

Sexy piece of kit, I thought - but I don't get out very much...

My reference says 300 were made, using petrol as opposed to diesel engines (nicer to the coffee) but this is the only one left in captivity.

You wait years for a Porsche coffee plantation tractor, and then 3 come along all at once!

All the same one, lives in Sheffield now! Along with 8 or so other Porsche tractors of various sizes and types.

Will have to dig out some old Porsche Posts and check re numbers made.
