Registration - SVN 536D Chassis No. - 17570 M.O.T. - Exempt Mention Lamborghini and most enthusiasts will conjure up images of a Miura or Countach, or maybe the more contemporary Huracán or Aventador. However, the fact is Ferruccio Lamborghini’s successful tractor empire preceded his supercar one by no less than 15 years, and it was reputedly only a heated argument with Enzo Ferrari over the clutch of his Ferrari 250 GT that prompted Signore Lamborghini to embrace cars as well as farm vehicles. The perfect stablemate for your Huracán is surely therefore this truly gorgeous 1966 1R. Finished in the classic livery of blue and orange that was once so familiar among the fields of Italy, it is powered by a 1.5-litre air-cooled diesel engine of 32bhp that drives through a four-speed gearbox complete with high and low final drive ratios - the impressive specification also features hydraulic rear brakes. ‘SVN 536D’ is presented in as-new condition, having only recently been the subject of a nut and bolt restoration in Italy courtesy of the world-renowned refurbisher of such machines, Ermes Formilan. Unsurprisingly, the vendor currently regards every aspect of the Lamborghini as ‘excellent’ and is only reluctantly offering it for sale as a result of ill health. If you have been seeking a Lamborghini 1R, then you need look no further than this one. In summary: • A truly immaculate example • The subject of a nut and bolt restoration by the world-renowned Ermes Formilan • Arguably the most affordable route into Lamborghini ownership
