One of a batch of 25 machines created for Ducati by NCR for homologation purposes for the Formula 1 class of the 1978 Formula TT World Championships. This batch of machines enabled Ducati to take the very first of its now 30 plus world titles and most famously, one was ridden by Mike Hailwood in his now-legendary comeback win at the Isle of Man in 1978, when he emerged from an 11-year self-imposed exile from mainstream motorcycle racing at the geriatric (at least in racing terms) age of 38 years. In winning, he averaged 108.51mph and set a new lap record of 110.62mph, beating Phil Read on a works Honda for the title. This bike was purchased in 1978 and stored, untouched, until in early 2014, it sold at auction for US$175,500.

This rare motorcycle crossed the auction block during the sale of the Brian Verrall Collection in 2008. Series-A Vincents are rare animals. The prototype Series-A Rapide broke cover at the 1936 Olympia Motor Cycle Show, and although production commenced in 1936, it was halted in 1939 at the outbreak of WWII and resumed in 1946 with the all-new Series-B. Only around 50 Series-A Vincent v-twins survive worldwide today. This 1939 Vincent-HRD 998cc Series-A Rapide sold for GBP198,400 (US$357,291) in September 2008 at the Bonhams’ auction of the Brian Verrall Collection in London.
