Ducati engined CONDOR A350 Swiss Army bike on eBay

The Swiss Army rode these Ducati scrambler engined Condor A350's from '73 to '78, making about 3000 in total. The motors had reduced compression for reliability with dodgy fuel and the aluminium sprayed steel exhaust was heavily baffled and almost silent - considerably reducing the output but hey, that's what you want when you're fighting against.... who did the Swiss fight again ?
The engine is rubber mounted, and even the spark plug cap is Olive Drab ! If only I had a farm....

This unit is on eBay, being sold off from the Australian Motorcycle Museum in Haigslea QLD. Here's the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/190630667342?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_500wt_1361
(I've since seen another for sale in S.A. on bikesales.com.au)
