According to Andar de Moto, a rare Ducati 'Mike Hailwood Replica' is heading to auction in London. Its tricolor paint scheme recreates the livery of Castrol, the sponsor that backed the project at the time.
The name Hailwood is practically a god in the racing world. For the generation that knows that comeback, this replica isn't just an old bike. Every stroke of the paint carries the heat of that era. I don't know what price it'll fetch at auction, but its worth can't be measured by money alone.

At auctions, it's often resellers who end up winning the bid, so it leaves you with mixed feelings.
A classic like this seems more suited to being displayed and admired than actually ridden.
That Castrol-colored tricolor scheme still looks like a fully realized design even looking at it now.
Who is the Mike Hailwood name actually derived from?
I wonder what the expected hammer price will be — the article doesn't give a number, but I'm curious.
A Mike Hailwood Replica showing up is exactly the kind of bike that has collectors drooling.
The price on this particular bike could vary a lot depending on its condition, so I envy anyone who can check it out in person.
