The Ducati four-stroke singles of the 1960s comprised 100, 125, 175 and 200 capacities. The first 200 Elites were an enlarged 175, with bevel-driven overhead camshaft. Introduced in 1959, they stayed in the model range until 1966. Arguably the most beautiful of the small Ducatis, it had a bright, attractive colour scheme of red and bronze/gold, and possibly the most gorgeous sculpted petrol tank ever made.
Purchased by the deceased owner prior to 1984, DDA76C has been partly dismantled. The owner had the petrol tank refurbished, re-chromed and repainted many years ago, and it has been kept in warm dry conditions since. Other than the fuel tank, little appears to have been done by way of restoration, and prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the completeness, or otherwise, of this project prior to bidding. Documentation consists of an old-type V5 and an old VE60 log book.
