This Lucchinelli Replica is offered from a private collection of Ducati motorcycles. The machine was purchased new from the UK importer Moto Cinelli in 1989 and campaigned in the UK 'Battle of the Twins' race series by Mark Ward with some success. Its racing career over, the Ducati was placed in storage before being retrieved in 2004 and sent to renowned marque specialist John Hackett of JHP (John Hackett Performance, Ducati Coventry). JHP then carried out a complete 'last nut and bolt' restoration to original specification with no expense spared. In the course of the rebuild the original crankcases were found to be unserviceable and were replaced with new unstamped factory items (the originals are included in the sale). JHP's photographic record of the restoration is on file, and there is a factory spares kit included in the sale also. After restoration was complete the Ducati was dynamometer tested and found to produce 128bhp at 11,500rpm; it was then drained of all fluids before being placed in to a private collection.
