Sandcast E3506 is listed at the Mecum auction in Las Vegas on Saturday, January 26.  Lot number is S156.

The bike is a Vic World sandcast with 1 mile on the clock.  No mention or photograph of the frame number. Another stunning example.

It has a left-hand horn so it must be in the lower half (or so) of the frames numbers.

It comes with a thin lip alternator cover which is odd for this E number

I'm thinking this could also be a Vic World restoration.

no less odd than frame 1865 having the so-called steering damper gusseting or E1973 having the diamond criss-cross cam cover or 248 having two early thin diamond exh.flanges -AND- two even earlier relief exh.flanges.
