+ buyers premium of 12.5% plus VAT (15% incl VAT) on the first £300,000 of the hammer and 10% plus VAT (12% incl VAT) thereafter 113 Lot 936 1986 Ducatti 750 F1 750cc Considered by many enthusiasts to be the last of the ‘real’ (pre-Cagiva takeover) Ducatis, the race-styled 750 F1 first appeared in 1985. Ducati had already enjoyed considerable success with its Pantah-derived F2 racers in FIM Formula 2 racing - Tony Rutter winning the championship four times running between 1981 and 1984 - so a ‘750’ version was the logical next step. Today, the evocatively named F1 and its derivatives are highly prized by Ducati collectors. First registered on 7th August 1986, this Ducati F1 was purchased by its second owner, the renowned collector and entrepreneur, Robert White, in September 1989 from Three Cross Motorcycles (sales invoice on file). The Ducati formed part of Robert White’s Collection from 1989 up until 2016 when he then auctioned off his collection, with the current owner being the lucky bidder that day and he, in turn, has kept it in his heated garage ever since In late January 2017, the bike was entrusted to Rhodes & Track for recommissioning and they went right through it including a carb overhaul, replacement hoses, chain, sprockets, plugs, gaskets, battery, fresh fluids, new tyres and the fairing was painted. This work amounted to £1,818 and the invoice is on file. Presented in unrestored condition, this fabulous Ducati displays a, believed- genuine, 10,787km (approximately 6,702 miles) on the odometer and is offered with SORN paperwork and its V5C registration document. N.B. Please note this lot will be sold with a buyers premium of 15% plus VAT as per our usual motorcycle terms. One of the most spectacular creations of its time, the 750 F1 is still one of the most sought after motorcycles in Ducati history. On offer from a Private Collection. Registration: D41 EPR Frame No.: 7501215 Estimate: £13,000 - £16,000 Specialist: Harry Whale Telephone No: 07919 887374 Lot 937 2002 Honda S2000 GT - 1,179 Miles Offered here is probably an unrepeatable S2000 GT as it has covered an incredible 1,179 miles from new and presents as such. A UK-supplied right- hand drive car finished in Nürburgring Blue Metallic with a matching hardtop, complemented by a blue convertible roof with a black leather interior. Equipment includes an electrically-operated convertible roof (with stand and cover), heated rear window, air con, radio C/D player, electric windows and electrically-adjustable door mirrors. Despite the incredibly low mileage, the service book has been stamped a remarkable seven times and accompanying the car is the Owners Manuals, service book, tool kit, MOTs (current valid until June 2024) and service invoices. The car has been garaged from new and this is clear to see from its spectacular condition, which needs to be seen to be appreciated. The Honda was owned for the majority of its life by the brother of the low-mileage 205 GTI that’s also in our Race Retro sale and the family were clearly fastidious in how they looked after and stored their pride and joys. The Honda S2000 GT is becoming very collectable and quite right for such an involving sports car. This particular example will certainly be hard to repeat considering its condition, mileage and diligent history. A true ‘best-of-breed’ contender, we welcome and encourage your inspection at the Race Retro auction to fully appreciate the quality on offer. A simply incredible example with just 1,179 miles from new, family ownership and in truly amazing condition that needs to be seen to be appreciated.
