An historically significant tractor easy to use and store
The Appeal
Launched in 1957, the small, light and nimble Lamborghinetta was produced in just 823 copies until 1962, but has remained an important and beloved benchmark in the history of the mechanization of the Italian countryside.
For its attractive and distinctly fifties design and its small size, and due to the great prestige of its brand, it is coveted by collectors all over the world.
This particular 1958 Lamborghinetta was fully restored six years ago, having been used only for village fairs displays and gatherings afterwards.
The seller assures us that the engine performs flawlessly and presents no leaks whatsoever.
The electrical system has been overhauled recently.
Steering and clutch are in excellent working order and all ball joints are in very good condition. The brakes have been worked on and perform well.
Horn and indicators have been added to improve the ease of driving on the road.

Accurate and regular maintenance
Carefully kept and barn stored, this Lamborghinetta has ceased to be used as a work machine many years ago and has enjoyed ever since the pampered life of a beloved collector's vehicle, proudly displayed at trade shows and rallies.
For this reason it has not been registered in years and does not come with a vehicle registration certificate.
All the mechanical components are original, as demonstrated by the easily checkable matching numbers on the frame and engine and on the other parts.

Summary
The Lamborghinetta tractors are highly sought after for their nice and irresistibly vintage lines and their small size, which allows them to be easily driven and used and to be stored in regular garages.
Their scarcity and historical significance makes this particular example, in very good and efficient conditions, a rare opportunity for a discerning enthusiast.
