A rare and significant expertly restored Lamborghini tractor, with new paint and well-tuned mechanics
THE APPEAL
Sold from 1967 to 1969 and developed from the glorious 1R model, the Lamborghini R226 tractor was equipped with the well-known and reliable 1462 cm³ twin-cylinder diesel engine.
Lightweight, versatile and economical to run, it was produced briefly and in limited numbers and, thanks also to its peculiar appearance, with the rounded classic lines of the older models painted in the then new blue and white factory colours, it is particularly sought after by enthusiasts.
The seller informs us that this tractor, coming from a large private collection, was stripped and repainted with great care five years ago. The paint shows some minor flaws and is slightly faded on the front.
The model-correct headlights are new, as are the steering wheel and the fuel tank cap, while the distinctive rear lights are original.
The engine was serviced before sale, all fuel lines were replaced and the engine oil was changed.
The seller assures us that all mechanics have been well maintained and are in good working order, that the vehicle starts correctly and brakes well and that all controls are functional. The front tyres are new.
The hour meter indicates a total of 4,060 working hours.
Kept in a private collection for a long time, all its documents have been lost.
Rare and sought after for its nice and irresistibly vintage lines and for its small size, which allows it to be driven and moved easily and stored in a regular garage, this beautiful R226, expertly restored and ready to drive, represents a rare opportunity for a competent and demanding enthusiast to acquire a significant piece of Lamborghini history.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
