Anyone know if this looks like a genuine Sandcast?

Supposed to be Vin no 1003612.

Date 1970 ?

not to be mean sounding, but that seat is awful.

Yes, very bad replica. It is strange to me there are only few original seats left. I mean with original red foam and original seat cover. Where are all these seats? Its getting harder and harder to find nice original seat.

I gather the original seat foam was prone to disintegrating so I suppose most original seats are long gone. You would have thought for £20k though it would be fitted with a Yamiya repro.

Any other comments on it or questions I should ask the selling dealer?

ChrisR ... do you know this bike?  KP?

A few things. I can't really make out much but clutch cover could be a 10 hole I just don't know The seller needs to provide better pictures and list the numbers It is certainly a later VIN due to the horn mount. Has a terrible seat and replacement paragraph pipes. Price is very high and as such one would need better photographs to examine the fine detail

Agreed we need better pictures. I will try and get some.
