What makes it special
The Ducati 600 SL Pantah holds an important place in the history of Bologna’s brand. Introduced in the early 1980s, it was the first production Ducati to adopt belt-driven desmodromic valve timing—an architecture that would later equip the brand’s sport motorcycles for several decades.
With its distinctive trellis frame and typically Italian style, the Pantah is today considered one of the most striking models in Ducati’s modern history.
This 1981 example is presented in metallic grey, with a grey and Alcantara-upholstered seat. The seller states that the motorcycle is entirely original, has never been repainted, and retains its red factory-applied pinstriping. It would have had just three owners since it entered circulation, including the current owner since 2011, and it shows relatively low mileage.
The seller adds that the bike will need to be recommissioned, including adding fuel before it’s restarted. For lovers of classic Ducati machines, this example is an interesting starting point, offered in a condition described as largely original.

BEFORE YOU BUY
This sale is subject to the general terms and conditions of Car & Classic. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also accept the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, meaning that consumer rights arising from European consumer protection legislation do not apply. However, you are still covered by the general terms and conditions of Car & Classic.
✓ We require that non-refundable fees are paid if you are the successful bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and general terms and conditions for the specific rates.
✓ This vehicle is "sold as seen", on a "take it as it is, where it is" basis and with no warranty. The photos and descriptions are provided for guidance only, and it is customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle before purchase for your own peace of mind.
✓ VAT is included in the buyer’s deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final offer or submission price, as specified in the listing.
✓ We want the transaction to go smoothly, just as you do, and that’s why cars and motorcycles registered in the UK and listed on Car & Classic are subject to an HPI check to verify that they have no basic insurance database markers for damage or theft, and that they are not subject to a financial charge—so you can bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as written off as part of a total loss at the time the listing is placed on Car & Classic, and we provide category write-off labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status and it is always useful to carry out a full vehicle history check before making an offer.
✓ Buyers are responsible for removing or arranging delivery of the vehicle. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes. If you would like, we can recommend a third-party shipping company that can help. For further details and to speak to the team, email auctions@carandclassic.com.
