The Appeal
Founded in Barcelona in 1942, Sanglas built motorcycles in relatively low volume for almost forty years and were some of the highest capacity Spanish bikes available. The 400 proved successful and was perfect for daily commuting.
Here we have a well preserved 1976 example that benefits from a great deal of care and a previous sympathetic restoration. Complete with period correct panniers and rear luggage rack, this is a very practical classic bike and would suit those who like to ride theirs on a regular basis. The electric start adds to this usability and we’re informed that the bike runs really well. Presented in great condition, with some charming light patina, don’t miss out on this unusual motorcycle.

- We’re informed that it was restored during previous ownership
- Number plate present and correctly displayed
The Condition
- Presented in very good, usable condition

The Mechanics
- 400cc single cylinder four-stroke engine

- Said to ride nickel, with strong brakes and smooth gear selection
- We’re informed that the cut-off switch that stops the engine is currently missing
Summary
It isn’t often we see a Sanglas, which is a pity as they’re an interesting and capable motorcycle. If you’re looking for a classic bike you could use on a regular basis, we think this 400 would be a great option.

Auctions are extended by 3-minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.

- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

|---|---|
| £0 to £10,000 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £50,000 | £250.00 |

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you’re able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
