What means the V.I.N. (Vehicle identification number?) „xxx/E894“? Mine is „00071352“. Vin is Frame number Engine numbers are Exxx  00071352 is not a Honda number
- Is „Casting Date“ the production date? This refers to the casting date found on the rear of the top engine case usually expresses as month then day. Early engines didn't have casting dates
- „Date Sold“ means buying date of the FIRST owner? This refers to a date where the original dealer sale receipt or invoice is known/available. Not all info is available
- Owner means presumably the present owner..Yes

I restord the bike sinds 2015, and i'm now looking to get to now some of the history of this sandcast bike.
My question is : does somebody now something about this bike, were was it sold and driven, who were the owners of this bike, how did it being sold in Germany.

Many thanks !

I see a few items but knowing VW, this bike would be very well checked out. Prices are still good if this is an indication

Sandcast 3008 / E3113 is listed on Bring a Trailer. Looks to be a very-very nice bike, with lots of NOS parts. It's being sold by Vic World, although it's not one of his a remanufactured bikes.

 Thanks guys, cleaning up the smaller bits, I forgot about the horn bracket::) I took this completely apart 10 yrs ago & dug out a pan of  black parts  that  got messed up sitting! I just ordered an ultrasonic cleaner to try & might try a homemade plating for the hardware? I read somebody did it…I think Terry from Australia iirc was very successful:) aI have an old plastic cooler & a battery charger! :)

I agree with KP. Though I dont know your plans for the bike, you will get the most value and the most protection with proper paint.

Personally I would have it professionally painted including all black components such as battery and tool boxes, pegs, stands, bottom tree, horn bracket, brake light bracket and swing arm. Top triple tree in satin/semi gloss.

I’m not a painter so I’ll probably have to use rattle cans for frame, swing arm center & kick stands & then I also have the triple trees. Wondering the consensus, Thanks
I did clean up & sanded with 003 steel wool.
