The white ones were termed Tracfor models. They were a fixed specification edition of the regular models in the late eighties. The early ones were normal orange. Renault did the same with the Nectis range of tractors painted gold. Were the white tractors orange underneath?

The white ones were originally released in 1988 under the name "Serie Speciale" to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Renault tractors. The 70_12, 70-14 and 103-14 were the first to be built. They were joined later in the year by the 110-14. The Tracfor name came later then the updated 54 series tractors like Colin's were introduced in 1989. The last white ones were built in early 1990. The Tracfor name lived on with orange tractors.
