The Attractions

We all love his road cars, but it was probably the tractors produced by Ferruccio Lamborghini that had the most significant impact on our lives. These tireless workers were a great help to Italian farmers in the post-war period and played a key role in Italy's post-war agricultural recovery.
Few work vehicles have had the importance of the 1R, a small, light, simple and extremely reliable tractor designed for small plots of land. They were robust and very capable, but also had a certain style - their famous orange and blue livery was particularly familiar and popular in rural areas in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
One only has to admire this beautiful 'Vigneto' from 1966 to bring back memories of those years that were so important for our history. It is a truly magnificent example, meticulously restored by a Lamborghini tractor specialist and used for just 1.4 hours afterwards.
The quality of presentation is certainly of a high collector's standard, and this Lamborghini exerts great fascination thanks to the high standards of restoration, extremely limited use and great attention to detail. It is in immaculate condition, fully restored and equipped with a hydraulic lift.
