Has been to many AROC events and would be one of the best in the country.If you know about the 147 Ducati it was a limited edition of approx. 220 UK cars. The car is on 78,000 miles so is just run. So one of these among the lowest milage versions in the UK , I have original invoice from first owner, who needed to register in his partners name same address when he was working overseas so she could sell on his behalf.
