This Lovely Tractor Is Being Auctioned Alongside Collection Of 56 White Porsches-January 2024

If you’re in the market for , I’ve got good news for you as at RM Sotheby’s. Nestled among a collection of 62 classic cars being sold by the auction house is from 1959 that could be yours for about the same price as a new 718 Cayman.

The tractor in question is , which was built for roaming the vineyards of Germany’s wine regions like Mosel, Rheingau and Rheinhessen. Built between 1952 and 1963, the 108 S is powered by an air-cooled, single-cylinder diesel engine that produced just 14 hp. If you’re interested, that makes it 21 times less powerful than .

But this is a tractor, so it’s about more than just raw power. As such, the Junior 108 S came with tricks like , which could be set between 45 inches and 25 inches. It also came clad in this stunning Art Deco-style bodywork, which I think makes it look absolutely fantastic.

When it goes under the hammer as part of RM Sotheby’s White Collection sale, the auctioneer expects it to sell for between $50,000 and $75,000.

But if tractors aren’t your thing, you’ll be pleased to learn that there are a few actual cars going up for auction through the sale. In fact, the White Collection sale will see RM shift a 62-car collection that includes an eye watering 56 gleaming white Porsches, two tractors, and even an old Ford half-ton pickup.

If white Porsches are the kind of thing that floats your boat, then this collection does have some good ones.

A couple of personal highlights in the collection include , which has sadly only covered 12 miles in its lifetime. The car is finished in Grand Prix White and comes with color-matched wheels and a lush blue leather interior. It’s expected to sell for as much as $3 million when it hits the auction block.

Then, there’s a wonderful RSR 3.8 that, you guessed it, is finished in Grand Prix White. Despite having a Le Mans-spec engine at its heart, the car has only driven around 40 miles since new. As such, it’s expected to reach $2,500,000.

Finally, there’s a funky looking flat nose 911 Turbo S X85 from 1994 heading to auction, which thanks to its funky pop-up headlamps would round out any Porsche collection nicely.

The entire collection is , before it heads under the hammer on December 1-2 2023.

Hyundai-Kia Continues Their Lighting Design Onslaught With The Genesis G90's Indicator Repeaters
Recently, I’ve written an about the coming out of the combined Hyundai-Kia automobile-producing concern, and the reason is simple: the lighting designers working for the Korean automaker are fucking bringing it. A fantastic example of this can be seen in the just-unveiled 2023 Genesis G90 sedan’s turn indicator repeaters....

Elon Musk Tweets About Cybertruck Bringing "Post-Apocalyptic" Technology To The Present
I’ll be the first to admit that the charms of Tesla’s but upcoming electric pickup truck, the boldly-designed Cybertruck, I adore weird and risky automotive designs, but the Cybertruck just doesn’t seem to be designed to be an actually usable truck. The design decisions seem to come from some...

I’m a big fan of the very charming Renault 4CV, but, not being a member of the bird community, rarely see them from this angle. I think they still work well! I also like how the ad copy makes some big claims, like how passengers can “extend their feet...

Acura's Original NSX Is Still The Simplest Automotive Joy
Honda’s New Sports eXperimental absolutely changed the game when it debuted in 1990. It was a beautiful and exotic shape from a company better known for economy cars, with the performance to match. The engineering was so faultless that for twenty to forty thousand fewer dollars. There’s a reason it...

I may be yelling into the void here, but I’m sure there are plenty of you that love cars and don’t understand the entire mechanics of a vehicle. And that’s ok. Not all of us were born from our mothers’ wombs with wrenches in-hand and a need to take...
