Here's the description

Ducati 350SC




This bike is being advertised on behalf of a customer and the following information has been provided:
One of the rarest Ducati’s ever, this 350SC is believed to be one of only six or seven series 2 350 SC bikes the factory ever built, originally built for the Barcelona endurance races, they were totally unique in having sand cast engine cases, different valve angles and heavily drilled, lightened and polished internals including the crankshaft, differing greatly from the road going versions and also use a twin spar frame.
This particular bike's covered no miles since it was rebuilt some years ago by the very well known and respected British Ducati race engine builder Anthony Ainsley using new factory parts.
There is a spares kit with the bike which includes a new factory special double web race rod set, straight cut upper bevel set, good second hand piston, special factory tools, information pack, and other parts .
Other details include original factory supplied alloy tank and fairing, Veglia competition rev counter, checked and x-ray’d original Oldani magnesium brakes, 32mm SS1 Del Orto carb and original rims with stainless spokes.
The bike was brought into the UK many years ago by me from South Africa where Ducati had sent it along with Franco Farne' to promote the brand down there.
Moto Marianna have checked the engine over thoroughly and can confirm it’s as new condition.
These engines were unburstable, proved by London dealer, Vic Camp holding one at max revs for a long period of time to check its strength! (very sophisticated test methods in the 60’s!). Suffice to say, it did not destruct.
I have more pictures available, happy to mail.
Happy to arrange shipment at cost if required - bike located in the UK. 
Please contact us in the first instance for details.


All that and you still get 500 quid change from £30K. You know you want one, and anyway what good is a pension these days?
