Highlights
- Restored to a high standard
- Refinished in its original period-correct colour scheme
- Mechanically overhauled and subject to a recent service in readiness for sale
- A rare find, especially in the UK - the R226 was manufactured only between 1967 - 1969
The Appeal
Handbuilding exotic supercars is an expensive business.
There would be no Muira, no Countach, no Murcielago and no Aventador if only Signor Lamborghini’s Ferrari 250 GT had fewer faults and even more importantly, if his agricultural machinery business had failed. Fortunately for us, a long-standing grudge against ‘Il Commendatore’ and a thriving agricultural machinery business gave Ferruccio Lamborghini the wherewithal to build some of the most enticing cars of all time.
For true marque enthusiasts, there’s no better way to pay homage to the great Ferruccio Lamborghini than to own one of his tractors. For collectors in the UK, this can prove challenging, as most examples are to be found in Europe. However, we’re delighted to offer this imported Lamborghini R226 which has been restored to a high standard.
The R226 was built for two years only, so is one of the rarer classic Lamborghini tractors and therefore immensely desirable. This example was expertly restored by its previous keeper and has since been well maintained following import to the UK. The vendor reports that it runs and drives well, benefitting from a recent service. For collectors seeking a display piece or even those who favour a classic tractor to work the land, this would be an excellent proposition.
The History and Paperwork
- The previous (Italian) owner stated that this tractor was stored unused for many years prior to restoration
- No documentation survives, which is not unusual for agricultural machinery of this vintage
- Produced between 1967 and 1969, it not possible to ascertain the exact year this example was produced
- We’re informed that all import and export documentation is complete

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.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
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.
