Another French sandcast : 16877 - E17196

A nice bike with some details that are not K0, for sale now in France, asking price 19 500 €, that seems to me a little high !

edit : corrected engine number, thanks 4pots1969, my mistake !

How many CB750 K0 (sand/diecast) had been sold 1969/1970 in France .... 200?

The guy is wrong in his ad "Leboncoin" , it is not yet E-1017116 but E-1017196... Already listed.

Yes, 543 Sandcast in 1969 and 1250 K0 Diecast in 1970 for France excluding Sandcast after 7414... I think we should not be far from the 700 !!
I do not know the number of Sandcast for Japan? Who know?

The origin? the Japan!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
Seriously, I do not know more ...
But for the quantity I can say without too much wrong ... what could be of the order of 100 more 300 ex more ... even though I know I'll get me the thunder on me !!
Of course we will never have the certainty because it is SANDCAST...

Gerard, do you know where these bikes wold have come in to France in 1970 ?  who was the French distributor or major dealer ?

The bikes from Japan go to Havre (largest seaport customs clearance) and are then delivered to the Importer JAPAUTO-FRANCE in Paris who distributed them in turn to different Honda dealerships across France.

Gerard, Japauto never was a Honda importer, he was only a dealer, Honda bikes were imported by Honda France and sold by a large dealership network in France.

First exclusive importer in France was "Ets Psalty" in Paris, in 1961, under the direction of "European Honda Motor Trading Gmbh" established in Hamburg (Germany). Honda France was created in Paris in 1964, Psalty lost partially his exclusivity in 1965, and totally in 1967.

D'accord avec Patrick

l'importateur a partir de 1967 a eté Honda France a Bagnolet.
Honda Japauto ( Mr Villaseca) était concesionnaire
