1966 Ducati 250cc Mach 1 Replica
Registration no. OGU 599D
Frame no. 90943
Engine no. DM250 93118

"In response to European demand for a high-performance five-speed 250 roadster, Ducati created the Mach 1... Available from the end of 1964 and into 1966, the Mach 1 has become one of the most desirable production Ducatis of any era." - Ian Fallon, Standard Catalog of Ducati Motorcycles.

The basis of the Mach 1 was the contemporary Mark III, whose engine it shared. The Mach 1, though, was altogether more sporty in conception, boasting clip-on handlebars and the option of a racing-type solo seat. A new frame for 1965 and a front brake air scoop were the most significant changes made during the Mach 1's short production run.

First registered in the UK in 2016, this beautiful little Ducati was purchased from a local enthusiast as a restored 'Mach 1' replica and is presented in excellent condition throughout. The machine has been on display within a private collection for the last few years and will therefore require usual safety checks before further use. Accompanying paperwork includes previous owner purchase receipts; VMCC dating statement; HMR&C correspondence; expired MoT (2017); and a current V5C document. Various spares and a manual are included in the sale.
