The Appeal
The Lamborghini "Lamborghinetta" came about before Ferruccio Lamborghini turned his attention to supercars. This compact tractor model was manufactured between 1957 and 1962, with only approximately 800 examples built, making it a rare and collectible piece of agricultural machinery with significant historical importance.
This particular example has undergone a comprehensive restoration after being purchased in non-running condition from a landowner in Northern Italy in late 2023. The current owner's father immediately began a meticulous restoration process, bringing this agricultural icon back to its former glory while maintaining period correctness. Having been stored in a garage and never used for work since its restoration, this tractor presents in very good order for collectors of unusual Lamborghini vehicles or enthusiasts of vintage agricultural machinery.
