Ducati 'Cucciolo' Motorcycle Engine

Ducati 'Cucciolo' Cycle Auxiliary Motor.
Circa 1945/6.

This was attached to a bike which my father had in the early 50s.
It appears to be a very collectable item with some complete engines and various spares currently being sold online.
Bonhams sold one for over £800 three years ago.

Being no expert I am unable to say what parts are there, or missing. However I do seem to also have a plastic bag full of additional parts which my father had kept.
He also kept the original manual which came with it (written notes of his inside)

Welcome to view in person or I can email more photos as requested.

All sensible offers considered.
Thank you for looking. Read more
