lambo are still making tractors not sure if they bring 'em over here or not though still, my mates just bought a brand new one but that's in Italy.

The story of the lambo supercar is that when Mr Lamborghini (the tractor maker) went to buy a Ferrari and was told to wait in line like everyone else, he basically said "stuff you, I'll build my own supercar and it'll be better than yours!" and that's what he did. people then saw it and heard about it and wanted one of their own, so he started building them for sale.

You didn't mention Nuffields. Mind you, I can probably understand why

they were bloomin death traps i never liked driving them

The one I drove had a gearbox that you couldn't touch without burning yourself after 30 mins work - complete bag of manure - no wonder they went bust. It was replaced by a Zetor that was in a totally different class and even had a radio

Someone gave me a copy of "Tractor & Farming Heritage (no T&FH...No Comment!) cos it had an article about ploughing with a series 1 landy. Of more particular interest to this thread, they also had an article about the tractors of a certain Mr Porshe, The Standar Star, they were diesel and had a modular engine so you could have 2,3 or 4 cylinders, made until 1963 under licence by Mannesmann. And as the man said David Brown (the DB in Astom#n Martin DBR1,2 DB2,3,4,5,6,s etc) also churned out tractors. Now then when did RR start in the agri-vehicle business?
