• Ducati's tribute to Hailwood's 1978 TT victory
• Mark 2 steel tank and two-piece fairing model
• Run recently and supplied with a current V5C

In spite of Ducati’s continued success in WSB and Moto GP, their most famous victory was Mike Hailwood's amazing win in the 1978 IOMTT Formula 1 race. After retiring from bike racing in the late 1960s he won his comeback race, adding to his already legendary status. Ducati commemorated his achievement with a replica based on the 900SS. Originally titled the ‘900 Replica’, the 1979 model was produced in a limited run of 300 with a fibreglass cover over a 900SS fuel tank, but from 1980 onwards the tank was made from steel although the bike was essentially the same as the 1979 version with Brembo calipers and Dell’Orto carburretors.

This beautifully presented and mostly original Mike Hailwood Replica was recommissioned by Steel City Classics a while ago after being displayed in a Scottish motorcycle shop window for the previous 10 years. A 1981 model with a steel fuel tank and two-piece fairing, but without the side panels it looks to be Mark 2 version. The fuel tank has been taken apart by Devon Bike Tank Restorers, blasted clean, lined with an E10 resistant coating and then professionally repainted at a cost of over £1400 last year. Fitted with stainless steel silencers and run recently by the vendor, it comes supplied with some receipts, a couple of manuals, some old MOTs and a current V5C.
