2003 Ducati 748E

Highlights

  • 934 kilometers (580 miles) from new
  • Recently service by Ducati specialist ProTwin 
  • Cam belt change, new fuel pump and other work at same time
  • Full service history with Ducati specialists
  • Long term current keeper since 2016 
  • MOT to August 2025 with no advisories 

The Appeal

The Ducati 748 is essentially a 916 with a smaller engine. That means impeccable handling, evocative styling and a more accessible way into Ducati ownership. All reasons why these later bikes are increasingly popular with enthusiasts. 
Here is one for the collectors. The 748E replaced the ‘Biposto’ and this one has covered less than 1,000 kms from new (580 miles). It is in fabulous condition, helped by careful curation by the current keeper since he acquired it in 2016 on its arrival in the UK from South Africa. 
It has full service history by Ducati specialists. In 2024 close to £1,500 was invested in recommissioning, including a full service, cambelt change and new fuel pump alongside other checks and updates. 
With all that recent work plus an advisory-free MOT to August 2025, this bike could be bought to rack up some road miles, or preserved as part of your collection.

BEFORE YOU BUY
This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions..
✓ We request that a non-refundable fee  be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates.
✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is’ basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.
✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own  full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle.
✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection
