Good news indeed, another 600SS on the road, but just how many are left? The website howmanyleft.co.uk suggests 13…of which only 3 are licensed… Really?
I think that is way out, and there are many more than that out there, but we have to keep in mind that lots of them were (and still are) raced / *thrown at the scenery in the Desmodue series (* eh, @bradders ) and did not make it back on the road.
Yes, with but five gears and a gentle 583cc punch, the gorgeous Veglia Borletti analog dials just won’t stop dancing to that Desmodue beat…
My first race experience… first at Mallory, ended up in Leicester infirmary with postural dislocation of shoulder blade and a sling for 6 weeks lol 2nd was a cool experience of racing at assen!
You would think if you were asking close to “collectors quality” money, you might bother to get the details right. Like using the right half height hex fairing screws, and fitting handlebar ends. The general condition looks “tidy” but “stunning” it is not.
I seem to remember a Ducati owning friend of mine saying there were probably half a dozen in a roadworthy condition. Makes it all the more special for me!
I had never heard about « DelBoy ». Had to look it up. Interesting ! I was quoting « Jip » from Human Traffic. You know, when he manages to get himself and his crew into the Asylum, THE best atmosphere club in Wales, owned by the infamous Pablo Hassan (Mr Carl Cox himself)!! https://m.facebook.com/MixmagMagazine/videos/carl-cox-cameo-in-human-traffic/359798361342219/
Did you find some of DelBoys French quotes? Nearly as good as the Gendarme in AlloAllo…although simply nothing can surpass him for comedy gold.
