Not 100% original if it's been repainted :D

Aren't those going for only $10,000 these days?  (And even that is steeper than normal)
This says it's over 26 grand!

Also, that is definitely not a sandcast -- look at the serial numbers!

Whaaaa?

Sure, it's a sandcast.  You can dell from the pic of the engine number, the diecast's used a different font and had a raised border around the boss.

The last sandcast engine number was 1007414. Somebody got a set of blank sandcast cases and stamped them with the later engine # or something.

It is in euros, not dollars......


That frame number is definitely not a sandcast. Whatever the explanation for the cases is, it didn't left the factory as a sandcast and therefore it shouldn't be considered a pure "sandcast", even if the right parts have been bolted.
