I actually helped in its restoration! An amazing piece of history.

I wish there was photos of how it looked when it was found. Do you have anything like that?

Observe the differences between the 1969 black and white photo and the color photo.
1) Notice how the side cover enters the gromet in the two photos differs.
2) Notice the size and shape of the side cover triangle in front of the gromet differs.
3) Notice how the black and white has another step below the triangle the color photo does not have.
4) Notice how the black and white photo has a break in front of the screen the color photo does not have
5) Conclusion - these are different side covers.

Sam,
Are you free to tell the story how Vic got it and what will happen with the bike ?

Though I do know the story, it is not mine to tell. I don't know if Vic is on this site. If so, perhaps he will share.
I will say that Vic has had it for a long time and told very few people about it. Again, this is a project that Vic has been working on for a long time, so I don't want to steal any of his thunder. I enjoyed helping him with the restoration and seeing the bike completely disassembled. I thought his pre-production prototype was an incredible bike (it was and still is of course)...but the ACTUAL 1968 prototype is genuine motorcyling holy-grail material.
I would be surprised if it ends up selling for less that $500k.

Just looked on Sandcast Only forum and nothing mentioned about it ...apart from my post saying the same thing.
I guess Facebook has taken over ... real shame because it was the go-to site for anything early CB750 and a wealth of knowledge on there ...probably regurgitated (and possibly distorted) on social media. At least this site and the sister UK site thrives on...long may it continue.
