Mid-way through 1968, Ducati introduced its Mark III models in both valve-spring and Desmo versions, differences between the two being confined almost entirely to the cylinder head. Noteworthy subsequent developments included further increases in big-end size; the adoption of a Grimeca double-sided front brake; and the introduction of electronic ignition in 1973 on the final Mark IIIs. Last produced in 1975, the latter came in blue/gold (valve-spring) and yellow (Desmo) colour schemes, while a Brembo front disc brake was an option on the Desmos.

This Mark III was acquired by the current owner since 10th February 2020. Believed an older restoration refinished in Desmo yellow that still presents well today. Following a period of inactivity, this motorcycle will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent, or possibly more extensive restoration before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Accompanying documentation includes V5C registration document; expired MoTs (most recent 2019); invoices; Spinning Wheel Classic Cars Ltd sales invoice; and a Ducati service/repair handbook. It should be noted that the HPI records the previous colour as blue. The V5C omits the DM250GT/DM250M3 frame and engine prefixes.
