Highlights

Very rare 3CTL produced in small numbers
Powerful 40hp 3cyl diesel hillside tractor
Original and unrestored condition

The Appeal

During the 1950s and 60s, the 3CTL was one of the most powerful and expensive tractors in Lamborghini’s range. Specifically designed for work in the steep Italian hills, these 3-cylinder diesel tractor vehicles were built in small numbers. Today, they are amongst the rarest and most sought-after of Ferruccio’s agricultural output.

The 3CTL was powered by an air-cooled 2.2L 3-cylinder diesel engine that delivered 40hp - sufficient to climb virtually any field, however precipitous. This 1950 3CTL adds the character of originality to that appeal. It is complete and we understand it runs and it wears its age and life across its artfully worn blue and orange paintwork.

There is scope to turn this rarity into a showpiece, or leave it as is and admire its years. Whichever you choose, 3CTLs do not come to market often, so don’t miss out.
