Good morning everyone
Allow me to introduce myself, Paul from UK, living and working in Holland and just bought a 1974 250 MK3 Ducati.
My first Ducati...... A random conversation over a beer (or two) a few weeks ago and I agreed to buy it, unseen!
After a short negotiation, I collect it in four weeks time.
Been stood since 1994, been restored once, but looks mostly original.
My research has begun during a quiet period here at work.
I'm no stranger to bikes, currently have an '81 Yamaha XT500 and a '63 Honda CB72 on the road with a Suzuki TS250 in the initial throes of a rebuild. (not sure of what year it is as it needs to be registered).
Once I get a decent picture of the Ducati I will share it with you.
Cheers
Paul

welcome aboard, looking forward to seeing photos of your bike.

Thanks Steve
I collect the bike on 23rd July, will post some pictures then.
Regards
Paul

Morning all
Collected my 250 at the end of July. Work and stuff meant no time to work on it....
But spent a day checking, cleaning and adjusting everything and it now runs after a 20 year sabbatical!
First picture below.
Needs a lot more cleaning and polishing, but mechanically it is solid.

Nice looking bike....

Hi Paul

nice unmolested bike . looks like a 1974 to me . some of the last bikes to roll of the assembly line .
at the very end Ducati run out of single engines and used Spanish Mototrans engines .

Eldert

Correct Eldert, it was registered in 1974.
Points ignition and non-desmo.
Had it running again this weekend, insured from 1st November so will get some use on dry days.
Regards
Paul
