The Appeal

The Porsche-Diesel Standard 218H is among the most recognisable and collectible agricultural tractors ever produced. Built during the era when the Porsche engineering dynasty applied their considerable expertise to farming machinery, these air-cooled diesel tractors have earned a devoted following among collectors worldwide.

This 1960 example is described by the vendor as original and in nice condition. It underwent a mechanical overhaul in 2020 and is reported to run and drive well. The paintwork presents well, and the engine and chassis numbers reportedly match.
