I think there is one, or similar, with a collector. Pretty sure they weren't offered for sale here.
Nice though.

Nearest I've seen. This was at Newby Hall last year.
Story goes the previous owner of this place imported 2 V8 Internationals. Trying to find out what model they were, and what happened to them. Would have been sold on about 1979.........

Have you tried asking any of the old boys that may have helped out there years back. There would be quite a few u could ask
I only know 2......can't get a word in edge ways with either of them....
Conflicting views as well....V8.......non V8.......cab.........cabless....etc, etc.
Update. I was way off with the model No.s. Turns out they were a pair of 806's, like the pic below. Wonder what happened to them.

Doesn' t answer your question, but here are some photos of a 1486 in Victoria, Australia.
This tractor is part of an IH collection on a farm. it has clocked up in excess of 10,000 hours and only used on augers at harvest.
The owner describes the V8 tractor as a "show offs" tractor.

Unfortunately I don't have any video but the V8 certainly had a bark when the throttle was opened.
I was on the property looking at the collection, taking photos and prepared a fleet article for Classic Tractor. I had had a few articles published and was busy interviewing and taking photos so didn't get any video. Unfortunately the article wasn't published.
The collection included the 1486, 100 Hydro, 1256, 1206, 806 706 and A554. There was another tractor a 1066 Hydro in bits in a shed.

Wouldn't mind a 1206 myself, might import one when funds allow. That will probably be never
