This Ducati 160 Monza Junior, believed manufactured in 1967, was first UK registered in October 1970. It had been part of shipment sent to the US importer, Berliner Brothers. It was Berliner who had suggested to Ducati that they enlarge the 125cc model to 160cc. In 1968 Berliner had a stock of some 3,000 unsold machines. They struck a deal with the British businessman Bill Hannah of Liverpool to take these surplus models: 160 Monzas, 350 Sebrings, etc. It took Hannah several years to clear them even though he was undercutting the then UK official Ducati importer, Vic Camp.
Obtained by the seller from a friend in 2010, this Ducati had been partially disassembled when acquired and was purchased as a restoration project. The machine was stripped, and the engine found to be mechanically sound. The cycle parts were repainted; the wheels reassembled with new chrome rims; the brightwork re-plated; the electrics rewired to the original wiring diagram: and the fuel tank cleaned and sealed. New-old-stock Ducati parts fitted include the headlamp rim and reflector; the exhaust system; and the speedometer. Other noteworthy features include stainless fastenings and a new chain and sprockets. In occasional use, this charming little Ducati is said to start easily and ride well. Offered with a V5C and expired MoTs.
