Deerepower Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 so was all the tracfor range from Renault done in white or are the white ones like something like basic or specials editions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 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 \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 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.
