in a word, yes, he should have the salvage documentation from the insurance company verifying its release from them, not unusual for thieving scrotes to remove engine numbers from stolen vehicles, thousands of them get broken and sold a year quite legitamately ....

The seller has a couple of Negative commnets against him and 'good' sellers would have least left some form of counter feedback - so doesn't seem that bothered, perhaps that's a clue as to how to view what the deal and engine will be like? IMHO only of course...

So that will be from the shop at the back gate to the Brands Paddock next to Stan Stephens.

it should be legal to buy providing you get a valid receipt

good upgrade for some of the earlier Ducatis but not as straight forward as some would think as they use different

Radiator with twin fans
Oil Cooler and hoses
Wiring loom
Engine bolts (same as 748R)
Injectors
Airbox
Exhaust
