This stunningly restored Lamborghini Tractor is a 2R model hailing from 1963, the same year that saw the Sant’ Agata firm diversify into supercar manufacture.

The 2R was one of the company’s most successful models of the 1960’s with around 2,000 ultimately built between 1961 and 1967.

By now Lamborghini’s tractors had progressed away from Ferruccio’s early fuel atomisers with in-house direct injection diesel units now the order of the day.

The 2R was a sophisticated and powerful offering for 1963 featuring a three-cylinder, direct injection diesel engine putting out nearly 40hp.

A six-speed transmission was fitted together with two reverse gears.

The engine was accompanied by high-specification Bosch fuel system and electrics making it very much a top-of-the-line agricultural titan of its day.

This superb example even features a two point, hydraulically actuated rear hitch and twin, toothed power take off shafts for optimum utility.
