Description

1958 Ducati 175 sport, presented in outstanding condition, the best we’ve seen
restored by Pip using his many years of experience. In his own words....'Considered by many to be Ing.Taglioni’s finest creation, this super early 175 has never seen action since it underwent a comprehensive restoration job with the steel mudguards, toolboxes and fuel tank paintwork by Pete Priest. Its early model identified by the ‘Pressed’ front downtube, the ‘bolt on’ rear loop and the swaged style rear footrest mountings, those with a keen eye might also spot the significantly different front forks, yokes and headlamp brackets, they just don’t exist, so when the opportunity to buy them came up I dug deep and added some more parts to the ‘never again’ bucket list. The ‘Jelly Mould’ tank is in perfect ‘Never Seen Ethanol’ condition, the hubs are all correct, OEM Barruzzo steel rims (18 inch) are installed with new tyres and plated, not stainless spokes. The one debatable departure from standard trim is the fitment of the Dell Orto SSi 27A ‘Green Label’ carb, originally it would have had a strangulating UB24 Dellorto, but I really like the 27mm SSi! There are many more intriguing features and rare parts on this typically Italian curvaceous bike'. Having not had time to complete the registration process, it is supplied with a NOVA number and all the paperwork needed to aid registration with DVLA.
