1974 Ducati 750SSRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. DM750SS*075134*Engine no. 075185•One of only 401 'round cases' built•Matching numbers•Restored by Swiss engineer Ulli Rothlisberger•Only 1,070km (665 miles) recorded since restoration•Kept in private collections•Not been ridden in over 20 yearsIt was, without question, Paul Smart's famous victory at Imola in April 1972 that really put Ducati's new v-twin on the map. It was a particularly sweet occasion for hitherto un-fancied Ducati, as the Bologna factory defeated not only the race-proven Triumph Tridents of Percy Tait, John Cooper and Ray Pickrell, but also the works 750 MV Agusta of Giacomo Agostini. With such an outstanding pedigree, the 750SS was a natural choice for racing's Superbike category, and later on proved highly competitive in AMA 'Battle of the Twins' (BOTT) and club Super Street racing in the 1980s. Smart's bike was based on the 750 Sport roadster introduced that same year. The racer's cycle parts remained close to stock - even the centre stand lugs were retained! - merely being up-rated with triple Lockheed disc brakes while the engine gained desmodromic cylinder heads, high-compression pistons and stronger con-rods. When the definitive production version - the 750SS - appeared in 1974 it differed little in overall conception from the Imola '72 bikes, among the most obvious external differences being the adoption of a centre-axle fork and Brembo front brakes. The big 'Imola' fuel tank and humped racing seat both featured on the road bike, which wore a cockpit faring rather than the racer's fuller streamlining. The 750SS received rave reviews in the motorcycling press, being hailed by Cycle magazine as 'a bike that stands at the farthest reaches of the sporting world - the definitive factory-built café racer'. Today the 750SS is regarded as a true landmark model and is one of the most sought-after of all Ducatis. This Ducati 750SS, a matching-numbers example with factory correct frame and engine number stamping, it is recorded in marque specialist Ian Falloon's definitive register.The Ducati was restored by Swiss precision engineer Ulli Rothlisberger with his friend and former Ducati engineer, Hannes Jakob. Ulli did the bodywork while Hannes restored the engine. Ulli then covered 1,070 kilometres while running in the machine before placing it with his extensive motorcycle collection in 1998. He never rode it again. Photocopies of bills and invoices (in German) relating to the restoration are available. In August 2003 a sister 750SS, also restored by Ulli, was featured and advertised for sale in Classic Bike magazine. It was described by Ducati guru, the late Mick Walker, as the best he had ever seen. American fabric designer Michael Maharam contacted Ulli to make an offer. That bike had already been sold, so instead Michael bought this one, which Ulli had held back as the better of the two. The 750SS then spent 15 years in Michael's studio on the 14th floor of a block in New York as a work of art together with an old R50 BMW and various Vintage-era Bianchi racing bikes. It was never ridden.The current vendor bought the Ducati from Michael Maharam some four years ago, it being the third 750SS he has been lucky enough to own since 1976. He changed the oil and filter, cleaned out the carburettors and set up a slave fuel supply to bypass the tank (so as not to leave traces of ethanol). The bike fired on the sixth or seventh kick, after not having run for some 20 years, and settled to a perfect tick-over. It has been permanently housed in a Carcoon bubble in a heated garage since purchase and, again, never ridden.Currently fitted with a Bologna numberplate, the Ducati is offered with a photocopy of an Italian registration document from Sulmona, Abruzzo, dated 7th May 1974 (when the machine was registered AQ 26405), a Swiss Rapport d'expertise, dated 3rd December 1990, and UK HMRC custom clearance and nova paperwork dating from 2018. The Ducati does not have a US title (the American owner never registered it), nor has it been registered in the UK. A possibly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an example of this iconic Ducati.Offered with keyFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
10101974 Ford Escort MkI RS2000Reg. no. TJS 184MChassis no. BFATPJ 00176Engine no. PJ00176 (According to log book)Mileage: 70,000This previously multiple award-winning Mk.1 RS2000 AVO has been with the same owner since September 2001 and has only been driven to two events in that time. The family are now ready to release the car on the market and hope that another Ford enthusiast will enjoy it and show it off to the world as was always intended.This rally derived legend comes with a vast array of history and includes all the trophies it has won in the past, one award being an AVO show win. It is said that just 3,759 (UK) cars were produced and as a result, the model achieved legendary status amongst Ford enthusiasts and rally fans alike; it was the last model to leave the famous AVO factory prior to its closing. There are now just over 600 RS2000’s left on the roads in the UK including both the Mk.I and Mk.II. Not many would dispute that the Ford Escort is one of the most successful rally cars of all time, still winning events across the world to this day in historic and modern spec. on special stages and regularities.The Escort had the classic front engine, rear drive format that so many petrolheads love. With a 100bhp, Ford Pinto nestled in a shell with a combined weight of just 915kg, you can see why these were road rally favourites.In stunning original Daytona Yellow with Ochre decals, this particular RS2000 sports a number of extras with a nod to a great era of road rallying including roll cage, map reading light, Bilstein front struts and rear shocks as well as twin Oscar spot lamps, all of which were possible options from factory, however the AVO Owners’ Club does say that it is very hard to confirm which options came with which cars off the production line. The chassis code suggests the car was made post May 1974. The car number is 00176, in the colour it sits before us today and has the correct interior trim.After a number of years in dry storage, the car has just visited a local specialist to make sure it runs as it should, including a new carburettor and a service with fresh oils and fuel. Sadly, manufacturers rarely produce homologation specials these days but in turn it makes us desire the retro rally legends that little bit more. This is a chance to own a 1970’s icon in excellent condition that you can jump in and be reminded about the golden days of UK rallying. The sale includes a quantity of history including bills and trophies as well as an old V5, but no current V5C.Estimate: £42,500 – 47,500To be auctioned along with a fantastic selection of other vehicles on October 15th at our Showell Farm site, SN15 2NU. Viewing is welcome prior to sale and all cars are sold as seen, condition reports can be requested on each lot by contacting us direct. Lots are not available to buy prior to auction. Fully illustrated catalogue is available on the Richard Edmonds Auction website. Bids can be made online, by telephone or live on site. All lots are subject to commission.Vehicles that are un-registered or on foreign plates may require Import Duty and Vat to be paid upon purchase via HMRC prior to registering with the DVLA for a UK plate, if you are not sure please ask. For classic cars over 30 years this equates to 5% Duty on the final value.
