I have absolutely no need for a tractor but I know I'm going to buy one at some point.

That is gorgeous. Takes me back to the late 1970s when a number of Fordsons like that were running up and down the beach at Abersoch towing boats into and out of the sea. They were a bit rustier of course :lol:

I really wish we’d kept one of my grandads old David Browns. Unfortunately it wasn’t until the night after everything was auctioned off that my mum decided she wanted to keep the barn / some land 🥲

Someone really wants me to buy a tractor. My mate was showing me this last night.

Used to drive one of those at county shows as part of demo displays of antique farm machinery.

Not sure how much I actually want it, but I’ve always liked them for being different and it’s not silly money. It’s the manuel V6 too.

I'd have that in my dream garage in the "French weirdness yet somehow cool" section.
If you get all wobbly-lipped about the opinion of Internet strangers, maybe it's time to take a bath with the toaster as you'll never amount to sh1t anyway.

It is lovely, but fails the family bus requirement (for me at least) as it doesn't have five proper seats and the boot is piddly.

That’s a mighty large fire extinguisher.

Wrong colour but was surprised to see this up for sale as it's the very car I walk past most days.

The 612 never really suited red, and whilst black and red almost always works it just doesn't on this.

the wheels spoil it. The black makes them look like roller skates.

Agree - when I bought the 997 there was a Rosso 612 in stock and I though how dated it made it look and also had the effect of making it appear massive! All sorts of wrongness. Imagine buying that in red rather than blue, green or black given the choice... :roll:

Quite often Inlike older cars with slightly larger wheels, but they look shocking . Way too big.
