  2. They had it listed as a 999 Ex Corser from 1999 on one press release so I wouldn't trust their judgement! :) If you can send them factual info they are obliged to mention though prior to the sale.

  4. I think Coy's used this forum to glean some info about Ducati's. Hence why there are so many mistakes.

  11. I thought he was saying he didn't, along with not wearing tweed ;)

  12. It is unclear -he is wise due to his great age and twists words to leave mighty smoke screen :)

  14. Matalan have a lovely line in tweed in season right now ;)

  15. Hmm, I've got a tweed jacket that may or may not have been worn by Corser. I wonder if I should auction it.
     
    #55 ducati dad, Dec 22, 2016
  16. Defo. Especially if it wasn't worn by Foggy too :)

  17. Like i said all ready there are a few things wrong.
    Great bike i would not mind to have but NOT at that price.
    If you look at this link,and you look at the pictures with the documents you can see the frame number ZDM916s003571.
    I don't know what frame numbers the corse bikes had.
    But it would really suprise me that a 996 factory frame of a race bike will start with 916!!!i would think it would be 996.

  18. I don't think it's proper :D
    Anyone got the engine number? If you have both Ducati will check and confirm what the bike is.
     
    #58 Exige, Dec 22, 2016
  19. I've been told by invisible man over the phone while @ Coys that he visited factory with all the docs and numbers and they confirmed to him official pedigree of the bike. I am quite surprised thou that place like Coys would get involved with anything which is not clear cut 100% as this bike clearly is...
    All about tweed

  20. Ask Ian Falloon about the Museum Director's knowledge who Christies and Bonham's speak to - you might be surprised :) email the normal customer service with the number, it might be fun :)
