The bike doesn't look too bad from the pictures but there is quite a lot of work thats needs to be done. The rear mudguard has been cut down and the rear indicators are non standard.

I have sourced some bits and pieces from ebay to help the restorer keep the costs down, but I know the bike will never be worth what I am paying to restore it to as good a condition as possible, however as with a lot of restoration projects it's the connection with the bike that is key.

The Pantah started my love affair with Ducati when I first saw one at APS Motor Cycles in Bristol circa 1983/3. I was 17 and riding a Kawasaki Z250 "Scorpion" which although a nice bike, couldn't hold a candle to the Pantah, MHR's etc that the dealer sold.

I will try and post some more pictures as I get them from the restorer, and I am hoping to have her back by the end of the year or early 2007.

Thanks to all who have given me advice & help with this project so far... and yes the wheels are going to be gold!

Best of luck with it, should be well worth the effort.

I wonder if they'd let it in DD
