The Attractions
Only 779 examples of the 3352R tractor were produced, but its historical importance goes beyond mere rarity. It was this tractor, or more precisely its clutch, that led to the birth of the famous Lamborghini supercars we all love today. In fact, when the clutch of his Ferrari 250GT broke for the umpteenth time, Ferruccio Lamborghini installed a stronger one, taken from his own 3352R. Dissatisfied with the poor quality of the cars produced by Ferrari and the lack of consideration Enzo showed for his customers, Lamborghini then decided to start developing his own range of GTs to rival Maranello's super sports cars.
This famous and fascinating history helps to make the 3352R one of the most sought-after post-war tractors. You can decide to buy one of these beautiful tractors in the unmistakable two-tone Dark Orange and Light Blue livery already fully restored or, as in this case, you may prefer to look for one in original and extremely impressive condition.
This example proudly displays the signs of an industrious life spent working in the Prosecco vineyards, like the canvas of a skilled landscape painter. The seller bought it last year from its second owner, who had kept it with him for many years, and informed us that this tractor did not need any work on it because it was already in excellent condition.
Its next owner may decide to restore it or leave it as it is. In any case, this is a very rare opportunity to acquire an extremely original specimen.
