| The
seventh
issue of the long series dedicated to the historical motorcycles
is finally dedicated to a model manufactured in Spain; the Sanglas
350/1. |
 |
|
|
 |
The
Sanglas
350 appeared in 1945 in Barcelona's Fair and it was the
first model of the new company created by the brothers Javier and
Martin
Sanglas.
This first model had a monocylinder
engine of 348 cc., 4 speeds and 14.4 CV, inspired by the English motorcycles
at the time.
The model 350/1 appeared
in 1949 and it's the subject for this new ATM issue. Later
models 350/2 (1952), 350/3 (1953) and 350/4 (1956)
were manufactured, with important improvements in the frames, brakes, motor,
... in relation to the initial model. Indeed model 350/4 is one
of the most known, because it was mainly used by the Spanish police. |

|
The
production continued the following years with new models; the 295
in 1959 and 400T in 1964. Later they followed 400E,
F, Y; This last model already incorporated a 6-speed Yamaha
bicylinder motor.
All this Sanglas
models were manufactured also in 500 cc. versions from the 70's.
The mark disappeared in 1981,
acquired by the Japanese company.
