Footnotes

Ferruccio Lamborghini started building tractors in 1948; he used war surplus materials at first but by 1952 was making tractors of his own design. The success of the tractor business enabled Lamborghini to diversify into motor manufacturing in 1963; the rest, as they say, is history.

The Lamborghini 2R tractor was one of the company's most successful, some 2,000 units being sold between 1961 and 1967. The 2R was powered by a three-cylinder direct-injection diesel engine producing 39 horsepower, which drove via a six-speed transmission with two reverse gears, and came equipped with a Bosch fuel system and electrics, the best available at the time. We have been informed that this particular example was restored to correct original condition in 2019 by marque specialist Nicola Formilan of Garage 961 in Italy, a company approved by the Ferruccio Lamborghini Museum. Works carried out included sand blasting the vehicle back to bare metal; repainting in the factory's orange and blue colour scheme; checking the engine and transmission; overhauling the cylinder heads and injectors; re-calibrating the injection pump; changing all the oils; fitting new tyres, etc. Described by the vendor as in beautiful condition, this delightful Lamborghini tractor is offered with its original registration book; a photographic record of the restoration; and a Ferruccio Lamborghini Museum certificate signed by its director, Tonino Lamborghini.

Lamborghini 2R tracteur 1964
Châssis n° 15610

•L'un des traceurs Lamborghini les plus réussis
•Moteur diesel 39 ch
•Restauré professionnellement en Italie en 2019
•Certifié par le musée Ferruccio Lamborghini

Ferruccio Lamborghini commença à fabriquer des tracteurs en 1948. Il utilisa d'abord des surplus militaires, mais à partir de 1952 construisait ses propres modèles. Le succès des tracteurs agricoles permit à Lamborghini de se diversifier dans l'automobile en 1963, le reste, comme on dit, fait partie de l'histoire.

Le tracteur Lamborghini 2R fut l'un des plus populaires de la marque, quelque 2 000 exemplaires ayant été vendus entre 1961 et 1967. Le 2R était animé par un moteur diesel 3 cylindres à injection directe de 39 ch qui l'entrainait via une transmission à six vitesses et deux marches arrière et était équipé d'un système d'alimentation Bosch, ce qui se faisait de mieux à l'époque. On nous informe que et exemplaire a été restauré dans un état conforme à l'origine en 2019 par un spécialiste de la marque, Nicola Formilan du Garage 961 en Italie, une société agréée par le musée Ferruccio Lamborghini. Le travail accompli comprend le sablage du véhicule au métal nu, la peinture dans la livrée orange et bleu d'usine, la révision du moteur, la réfection des tête de cylindres et des injecteurs, le réglage de la pompe à injection, le changement des fluides, de nouveaux pneus, etc. Décrit par le vendeur comme étant en bel état, ce jolie tracteur Lamborghini est vendu avec son carnet d'immatriculation, un reportage photographique de sa restauration et un certificat du musée Ferruccio Lamborghini signé de son directeur, Tonino Lamborghini.
