It’s the end of an era in South London. Well-known dealer InMoto/Ducati Croydon closed its doors for the last time after 26 years. The store specialised in Italian brands, including Ducati, Aprilia, Moto Guzzi and Vespa, as well as KTM and Pierer Group marques.
Founded in 1999 by Gaudenzio Ingignoli, joined by son Cristian and daughter Roberta, the firm was a proper family business built on passion for the Ducati brand and a genuine love of motorcycling. A statement said: “We have faced very difficult conditions in recent times, and, despite every effort, we are unable to continue operating.”
However, the family’s other outlet – Ducati London, based in Vauxhall, is unaffected by the closure, and will continue operations under Cristian Ingignoli. Its location, under Vauxhall’s railway arches, remains fully open for new and used bike sales, accessories and spares.
