[Deerepower]

was this ever done in this colour by Renault or did the farmer/contractor have it done in this colour? \

cheers Gav I cant ever remember seeing them in white before so I thought I'd ask

[Gav836]

Here's a 103-54 in the same colour

[Deerepower]

so was all the tracfor range from Renault done in white or are the white ones like something like basic or specials editions?

[Gav836]

I have seen some orange Tracfor models too so not quite sure on that one. Maybe Greame can shed some light on it as I seem to remember reading that he drove one at one time somewhere \

They were a special edition but I can`t remember why. I`ll find out though.

The Tracfor was not quite a limited edition, it was more akin to a Popular Plus version of a Ford car.

Tracfors were a sort of entry level machine with a few options fitted at a bargain price.

Presumably the thinking was it would simplify the order and production process.

As I recall, originally they were all white, but as they started to take off they turned orange, can't remember the date. While I never actually sold one, and by extension entered into a discussion about the colour, I can only guess they became orange to further cut costs of manufacture and to make them stand out less as a 'bargain' variant.
