c.1974 Ducati 900cc 'NCR Replica' Project
Registration no. YEL 554S

'NCR' stands for the names of the Italian tuning company's founders: former Ducati factory race mechanics Giorgio Nepoti, Rino Caracchi, and Luigi Rizzi, although after Rizzi's early departure the 'R' stood for Racing. NCR was founded in 1967 in the small town of Borgo Panigale, a stone's throw from the Ducati factory, and functioned as the semi-official race team from the early 1970s, there being no direct works involvement at that time. Their emblem, a speeding cartoon dog wearing a helmet, is recognised the world over.
Imported in 2017 and acquired by our vendor in 2018, this Ducati is recorded in the 'Bevel Heaven' register (no. 328) where it is listed as previously residing in France. BH states: 'Frame stamping does not conform to factory type. Furthermore, the DGM number 'DGM 13715 OM' identifies the frame as a 1974 Ducati 900 Sport.' The HPI report records the machine as a 'Category N Insurance Loss. No Structural Damage and Repairable – Insurer Decided Not to Repair' (dated 12th July 2021). It should be noted that the machine was damaged in a flood while in storage, and that the engine is seized. Accordingly, prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's originality, completeness, authenticity, and mechanical condition prior to bidding. Sold strictly as viewed, the machine comes with old Italian paperwork, a couple of MoTs and a V5C. One key to headlamp.
