The Attractions
Ferruccio Lamborghini is certainly best known today for his famous road cars, but the 1R tractor was probably his greatest success. This small tractor, with its unmistakable orange and blue colouring, has been popular throughout Italy since its first appearance in 1961.
Despite its popularity, this late 1965 model is a real gem. Unrestored but in excellent mechanical condition, it has been visibly maintained with great care throughout its long life. It even comes with a registration document, a rarity for these agricultural vehicles.
The growing nostalgia for these robust working vehicles has led to the restoration of many examples. This tractor is something different, a very original but fully usable example that does not hide the beauty of its age.
