A 54-year-old Ducati, ready for a new lease on life. 🇮🇹

This wonderfully original 1972 Ducati 250 Scrambler recently arrived at our workshop for some much-needed mechanical attention.

Rather than restoring it, the goal is to preserve what makes this bike so special. We’ll be revitalizing the cylinder head with new valves and guides, carrying out an extensive service and carefully sorting the mechanical details.

The result will be a beautifully original Ducati that should be ready for another long stretch of life on the road.

Here’s to the next 54 years!🔧

The 1990s are becoming classic.

Introduced in 1993, the Ducati M900 Monster was brilliantly simple: an air-cooled 900cc V-twin, a trellis frame and very little else.

It is a great reminder of just how clean and purposeful the original Monster design was. More than 30 years later, bikes like these have entered a very different stage of their lives.

Good, original examples deserve to be preserved. Others are now reaching the point where a proper restoration makes sense.

In fact, we’re about to start the restoration of an early M900 in our workshop. And we’d like to see more motorcycles from this era coming through our doors, not just Ducatis.

The bikes of the 1990s are no longer simply “old bikes”. They’re becoming classics in their own right.

Which 1990s motorcycle would you like to see given the full restoration treatment?

Another restoration fresh off the workbench: this 1979 Ducati 900 SD Darmah is now complete! 🇮🇹

Restored to factory specifications and ready for the final stage of the process: road testing, fine-tuning and making sure everything works exactly as it should. Because a restoration isn’t truly finished until it has proven itself on the road.

Before the Honda CBX, there was this. The Benelli 750 Sei was the world’s first production six-cylinder motorcycle. Developed in the early 1970s under the wonderfully ambitious Alejandro de Tomaso, it was Benelli’s answer to the rapidly growing dominance of the Japanese motorcycle industry.

Six cylinders. Six exhausts. And one rather outrageous idea.

We recently had a beautifully restored example in the workshop and took the opportunity to dive deep into the story of Benelli, the creation of the Sei, De Tomaso’s ambitions and, of course, what this extraordinary machine is actually like to ride.

Our full film: “Benelli 750 Sei: Six Italian Cylinders That Shocked the World” is coming tomorrow!

This Ducati TT2 is one we built several years ago, and it’s back in our workshop for a full service and final preparation ahead of this year’s Biker’s Classics at Spa-Francorchamps.

Soon, it’ll be back where it belongs. Flat out on one of the greatest circuits in the world. 🏁

Will we see you at Spa?

Not every milestone is measured in horsepower.

This week we’re building the complete custom wiring loom for our Magni / Moto Guzzi project. While the bike keeps its classic Italian character on the outside, the electrical system is being designed from scratch using modern components for improved reliability, serviceability, and performance.

Hours are disappearing into planning, routing, measuring, crimping, and testing. It’s the kind of work that will hardly be visible once the bike is finished, yet it’s essential to creating a motorcycle that’s as enjoyable to own as it is to ride.

Progress continues… one wire at a time.

Everyone knows the legendary Ducati 750 Super Sport Green Frame.

But how many enthusiasts have seen the prototypes that came before it?

Following Ducati's historic victory at the 1972 Imola 200, the factory set out to transform its race-winning L-twin into the ultimate road-going sports motorcycle. The journey wasn't completed overnight. Throughout 1973, Ducati developed a fascinating succession of prototype Super Sports, each refining the concept a little further.

From the Turin Show prototype to the factory development bikes, every machine played its part in shaping what would become one of the most iconic Ducatis ever built.

The final chapter came at the 1973 Milan Motor Show, where Ducati unveiled the last prototype before the 750 Super Sport entered production in 1974. Although often overshadowed by the famous Green Frame, this remarkable motorcycle represents the missing link between the victorious Imola racers and the production legend.

Tomorrow we'll publish a brand-new documentary exploring this fascinating chapter in Ducati history. Using rare period photographs, factory documentation and our faithful recreation of the 1973 Milan Show prototype, we'll take a detailed look at the evolution of one of Ducati's greatest motorcycles.

Have you ever seen the 1973 prototypes before? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

🔧 Alfa Romeo 75 Restoration Update

Before the paint, before the assembly, and long before the first drive, there is the foundation.

This Alfa Romeo 75 arrived with the inevitable (hidden!) signs of age hiding beneath the surface. Rust-affected sections of the body were carefully cut away, allowing us to assess the full extent of the damage and ensure no compromised metal remained.

New repair sections were then fabricated by hand to match the original bodywork before being expertly welded into place. Once completed, the repaired areas were prepared for the next stage of finishing, bringing the car one step closer to its return to the road.

These are the hours that often go unseen in a restoration, but they are among the most important. Good bodywork is the basis of every great restoration.

Watch the transformation in our latest workshop update and let us know: what part of a restoration project fascinates you most?

It was great having Ronald, Edwin and Werner over for a visit! Soon more on the YouTubes

After nearly 20 years together, the time has come to pass on my Alfa Romeo GTV6.

Purchased in 2008, this early Dutch-delivered GTV6 has been my pride and joy for almost two decades. During that time, it has benefited from extensive restoration, continuous development and countless hours of care. A full body restoration and repaint, drivetrain improvements, gearbox rebuild, suspension and brake work, and many smaller refinements have transformed it into the car it is today.

Finished in Grigio Nube Metallizzato with a beautiful tan leather interior and powered by a glorious 3.0-litre Busso V6, this GTV6 combines one of Alfa Romeo's greatest engines with the wonderful balance and character of the transaxle chassis.

Selling the car is not an easy decision. However, life changes. With a young family and an Alfa 75 restoration project waiting in the wings, opportunities to properly enjoy the GTV6 have become increasingly rare. Rather than spending more time in storage, it deserves to be driven, enjoyed and appreciated by its next caretaker.

We've recently completed a new photoshoot and documented the car extensively. Over the coming weeks we'll also be sharing more content, including a special YouTube documentary reflecting on nearly two decades of ownership.

We hope this special Alfa Romeo will find a new owner who appreciates it as much as we have.
