Hell yeah! Before cars!

They were originally just a tractor manufacturer. The cars only came about because Enzo Ferrari wouldn't sell out to a tractor maker. So said tractor maker built the Muira to stick it to old man Ferrari.

Cars went well, tractor business ended up in the hands of Same [sLH - Same, Lamborghini, Hurlimann] before ending up as part of SDF where it is now.

Sould find stacks of info on the net.

                The story goes, Lamborghini bought a Ferrari car, but found it so unreliable that it was always breaking down. He complained to Ferrari, who told him to go away and stick to making tractors, Lamborghini was so enraged he started his own supercar business and their legendary rivalry was born.

What is the Deutz combine beside the first picture?

Neighbour has two 2wd 754's - swears on them - one I think he has since new - now on a diet feeder but also spreads slurry, spreads fertiliser and draws corn.

His other one he bought it last year with loader - I think she is just a yard tractor ;)

A lot of the early Lamborghini models were made by Ros but Siku now make some as well. This is the R8 265 which is effectively the same tractor as both the SAME and the Deutz with slight modifications
