Hoss elm who owned Moto Cinelli evolved into Ducati Uk at an address very close to this one. then obviously moved to M.K some time after.

Hoss was a real character !!!

Yes indeedy, i remember him starting the spares business in the little terraced house in Olny a few years before.
Hope he is enjoying his retirement

so was a bike from them a parallel import then?

I don't know , depends on when i suppose as there would have been a time when they switched into official.

No they weren't parallel importers they were the official one. Foggy used to have Moto Cinelli stickers on his tank before the days of Ducati UK.
