...have a look in Czechia: Until the 90's, Zetors were available in yellow, green, blue and red.
Because the very little demand for yellow, the yellow paint was discontinued within a year or two. The blue was a popular color in Czechia, the green a little less than blue. For recognition sake, all exported tractors were the well known red.

..and I thought that Valmet were the first to provide colour options - That was a very customer-focused option by Zetor for its time.

I have repainted my 2511 , the original color is blue (construction jear 1963)

Eric, 2511 was produced since 1967 or 68. It should be 2011, or produced 1973.

ZJ, i lookt on the plate with the technical donations, put on by the importer in Belgium, at that time that was Hock from Brussels.
Its a 2511, built in 1964

What ever happened to the olive drab green color that Zetor was experimenting with a couple of years ago? There was a picture of one in Profi.

Woodbeef, there's a pic in the image gallery, of an olive green second generation Forterra prototype, in the 1999 Agritechnica fair, long before the Forterra 2 was taken in production.
