The Appeal

The 1960 Porsche-Diesel Standard 218 is a classic agricultural machine, increasingly sought after by collectors of both Porsche heritage and vintage tractors alike. Produced by Porsche-Diesel Motorenbau GmbH in Friedrichshafen, it is the third generation of Porsche's two-cylinder Standard series.

This example reportedly retains its matching-numbers engine and chassis. It underwent a comprehensive restoration and overhaul in 2018, during which it was fully sandblasted and repainted, the electrical system was renewed, and new tyres were fitted. The vendor describes it as a rare example that presents well, and transport can be arranged for the successful bidder.
