Good Porsche.

If you’re in the market for a pristine vintage Porsche, I’ve got good news for you as a real beauty is about to go under the hammer at RM Sotheby’s. Nestled among a collection of 62 classic cars being sold by the auction house is a lovely Porsche Junior tractor from 1959 that could be yours for about the same price as a new 718 Cayman.

The tractor in question is a 1959 Porsche-Diesel Junior 108 S, 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 an entry level 718 Cayman.

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, a 1955 VW Beetle 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 a 2015 Porsche 918 ‘Weissach’ Spyder, 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.

This Porsche 918 Spyder could hit $3 million.

Then, there’s a wonderful 1993 Porsche 911 Carrera 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 available to view here, before it heads under the hammer on December 1-2 2023.
