Can we now please get a April fools video of that Farmer bringing back that Nice new Porche Covered in a Thick layer of mud from using it to plow his fields?
@@nykxssss no, there was no ausf. a. Only Ausf. H and Ausf. E, which was a redesignation. The Tiger Ausf. B (Tiger II) was the only other Ausf designation for the tiger. I've never seen the Tiger I referred to as a Tiger Ausf. A before this. If you want to differentiate between the Tiger I and Tiger II, just call them that.
Mir kommen die Tränen, wie liebevoll das Personal ist. Gott sei Dank weiß der Bauer noch nicht daß er für die Reparaturrechnung seinen Hof verkaufen muss.
They were sold with an actual lifetime service warranty, meaning aslong as the chassis is intact, its under warranty and will never cost the guy a penny. One of the other comments joked if you turned up with a tiger tank they'd warranty it, and the honest truth is if it had a porche engine, they likely would provided you were the original owner or bought it from them (so battlefield salvage or post war seizure doesn't count, unfortunatly that is not the case for the only running tiger tank on the planet).
@@cgi2002that tiger is also not a Porsche tiger. There was only 250 of them made and almost all of them were turned into the Ferdinand tank destroyer. The tiger tank and tiger 2 that saw combat is a henschel and son.
As far as I know just about all major WW2 German tanks had Maybach engines. Though technically Maybach was a subsidiary of Luftschiffbau Zeppelin at that time, I think it would be quite entertaining to watch someone bring a Panzer IV or that one half restored Tiger I to Mercedes Benz for servicing.
Im presuming that's a Tiger engine? The number means cubic centimeters of displacement. And only a tank engine or marine engine would be that big. Hell, the largest piston engine ever used on an airplane was a Wright 4360.
0:31 When I saw those files it reminded me a lot of my current job at the Portuguese National Railway Company. In a moment you're on a PC working with CAD parts, the other you're holding 60+ year old documents in your hands. Just yesterday I had a few drawings in my hand that were already 100 years old!
Ever read the original Serbo-Croat documents for the Yugoslavian locomotives that run on the Linha do Vouga Metric gauge railway? That must be interesting.
I still remember the day when, as a kid, I opened our diesel boiler for heating at home and found the Lamborghini’s logo. We owned a lambo and we didn’t even realize.
@@rearspeaker6364 Well - uhm actually the original part is around 280€ - if you ask google and is made in Germany by BOSCH - the made in China version starts at 170 € on eBay. Fun fact - the similar part for a young timer 911 made by Ridex is around 90€.
My grandfather had one of those. It burned down in 1976 before I was born. He kept talking about it until the end. Whenever the fire came up the Porsche was his biggest loss from it. The house burned down as well btw.
"The house burned down as well btw" That nonchalant sentence really got me. It is really sad that a rare piece of Porsche history burnt down, but come on! His house burnt down too!
@@Bosic012 Most important thing was that nobody got hurt. He went into into the burning staple and let the horses out. I guess that the Porsche was the biggest loss was some sort of victory as well for him 🙂.
I got it the minute he said, "111." Everyone knows about the Porsche tractor. It looks so good because it came straight from their museum. But the real beauty of it all is, its a true ad. Porsche is big on history. They keep a record of everything they ever made. Lots of it they keep at least one example as well. Just one more reason why Porsche is the best. Period.
Charles Miller not only that, the Porsche Museum prides itself on keeping every vehicle in their collection (from 356-001 to the latest 911 fresh off the assembly line just next door to the museum) in OPERATIONAL CONDITION!
I love this ad…EVERYTIME I’ve watched it. I own an older Porsche (1990 944s2 Cabriolet), which I gifted myself the year I turned 50 that coincidentally was the same year I was promoted to O6 (Navy Captain). Now in the last year of my 60s, I still love and drive the S2, but would so dearly like to own a 911. Maybe, just maybe? I have used “specialists” (as in non-dealerships) to service my car…but the three times that I’ve been to a Porsche dealership, (Hartford CT, Knoxville TN and Providence RI) I was treated just as if I were buying a brand new car. They are indeed, a “class act”! Bravo-Zulu, Porsche….I for one still smile when seeing a Porsche on the road…especially when seeing the “older” models!
I had a a 72 914 in the early 2000s. It was old and tired, but when I went to my local dealership yo buy a part I couldn’t get elsewhere they treated me like I was a majority stock holder.
Does it have a three-point hitch, though? Wouldn't a Porsche tractor make a wonderful barn find? Risk my grandfather had bought a couple of these instead of International Harvesters.
I always love it when I see an old Porsche Diesel 111 driving on the streets 😊 Good sunday drive vehicle. Didnt think that so many of them are still in pretty good shape and taken out for a drive 😊
If porsche truly honors these type of situations when they encounter them I truly respect them for it. You'd be lucky in the US to get even a ten year old vehicle booked in for service at a brand owned/licensed dealership, let alone finding new parts for them. To not only extend to your cars but also your other equipment and vehicles you've made, again if this is truly honored I absolutely respect Porsche for it and wish more car manufacturers would follow their example on this
I know that Porsche dealerships will absolutely have an old Porsche car of any vintage in for service/maintenance/inspections - they take pride in their heritage. They even sell aftermarket upgrades to put a modern Porsche infotainment system in a 20-year-old car! They will make you pay an arm and a leg for any of it though haha
The biggest problem with a dealer is finding parts for an old car. I took my 26 year old truck in to a Ford dealer this month. Waited a week to have parts shipped to the dealer, but they found somewhere that still had the discontinued part. Had a stock date of 2001 on the package.
My dad's Porsche 911 from 74 is still being serviced at the dealership. He's the second owner, he got it when his dad passed. If nothing happens to the car by the time I can inherit it, the Porsche dealership will still be servicing it. It's his weekend joyride car. It's just about to hit 110,000 miles on it.
In Europe there are some dealers with a special Classic Center. Been to one when I still had a 911SC - 1980. Just to visit, maintenance is quite expensive.
Great video! I would have known it was the tractor if I'd receive that call. It is great to see even if it is just a tractor, being in such great condition. The service of 'classic' vehicles from Porsche should be up to par with a new cars' service. This video shows how that is put to practise. Keep it up!
@@nykxssss Today Porsche don't know much about their tractors from then... I've proven this, since I wanted to know about the characteristic lines of the alternators and they couldn't tell. Bosch had no clue, too. A local electrical machine builder was able to determine the charactesitics line and modified it according to my preferences...
actually tractors are quite expensive, the old ones because they're rare and collectors and the new ones because they're full of technology so, technically, yes, you can trade your tractor for a Porsche!
Henry C i would trade a porsche car for a tractor, but something like a Renault 75-35 MX or Porsche AP22 tractor. I more like tractors anyway and if i hade a car any a tractor and would need money, i would sell the car
No joke though, I brought my 1989 944 in to ask a question and I had the staff gathering round, asking if they could talk. I could easily have got a routine service and a loaner Cayman (I expect), probably for a mere $1000. They did later email to make sure I knew about their 'Classics' rebuild service for about $100K on a turbo version...I never went back but miss that experience and will have another Porsche if I can afford it.
they also proabably bought from collectors or replicas, i once read that there are companies who specializes themselves in making antique/discontinued parts
Yeah like they still make parts for it, right. Hey Porsche, I need the left camshafts for the Typ 547 engine (cylinders 1 and 3). The 1.5 version, please.
Eine gesunde Portion Selbstironie hat noch Niemandem geschadet. Wunderbare Anekdote, fände eine ähnliche Begebenheit als reale Dokumentation das i-Tüpfelchen an Markenstatement ;)
Porsche is like that though. If you're a 20year old with baggy pants, they will still ask you if you're interested in their car and help you, ask questions and everything. They might even let you testdrive one, as if it was a dacia dealer with nothing to use. The philosophy is to never judge someone by the looks. If they can interest you in a porsche now and you come back in 3 years, when you got successful with your carreer or whatever and you REMEMBER them and come back, the goal is achieved. Very nice people
