Original paint? How fantastic is that.........
I'm not a tractor guy but I can appreciate how fantastic that Porsche machine is. I can nearly hear it purring away as it trundles down the High Street.
I am just in love with the whole thing going on in that picture,
Happiness, community spirit, the hat, the machine, the originality, my Lloyd's pharmacy shares......

All the best to you and welcome to DDk. Thanks for posting the picture.

Regards
Mike

Thanks lads for the nice comments.

Can't say i'm a big tractor fan either but my dad is passionate about them, he's had a few porsche models over the years. Must dig out a few more pics from the family albums.

Great to hear your Dad is a fellow 'yellow belly', there is a very active vintage scene down around Enniscorthy
