The Sandcast after The Sandcast... A myth?? No, just a reality!!

(1/21) > >>

4pots1969:
Here are some numbers of engine Sandcast only listed in France after the official period Sandcast E-1007414 and baptized on this forum "French Sandcasts" They are in series 1014000 and 1017000...
All the engines Sandcast listed below has the clutch covers  of the engines Diecast after E-1007414 with 10 holes but with only 9 holes, this anomaly is visible on the last two photos.
The explanation in that is I consider simple, they did not have a cluth cover with 9 holes in the stock...
The demand was very important and they opted for this fast solution because it was necessary to produce and to sell.

This Sandcasts 14000/17000 has were sold in France approximately for the period of March has April 1970.
A photo is joined for every number of engine...



E-1014138/VIN-1014046 ?? (Very strong suspicions that the 1st engine of origin was an engine Sandcast..)

VERY, VERY, VERY COOL !!!!  MERCI !  THANKS FOR SHARING THESE !  Are these vins the total known to exist ?

Yes, All this is very real and on their wheels has the exception of Sandcast E-1017135.
I added the numbers VIN.

cb7504:
 If possible it would be very nice to see any available pictures to go with the vin/serial numbers of these "French" sand cast bikes. 

hondasan:
From the way the numbers are grouped, there appears to be two "batches" of these later sandcasts. temporary problems with supply of die cast cases I wonder?
