1951 Sanglas 350/2
Sanglas was a Spanish motorcycle manufacturer which was founded in Barcelona (Poble Nou) in 1942 and ceased production in 1981.
Sanglas models were a hybrid of English and German models. The chassis was based on the concept of BMW and the engine, type monoblock, 4-stroke single cylinder, OHV type, was inspired by DKW brand. The first motorcycle had a displacement of 347,75 cc. and 14.4 HP power at 4,800 rpm. At the end of 1948 the company already had 100 employees and had manufactured 200 units. The first model, 500 cc with a rear chassis renovated to be able to accommodate an oscillating fork and two hydraulic shock absorbers, was launched in October 1952.
The Sanglas were designed for tourism, reached considerable speeds and could travel long distances. 350/4 and 500/3 models included engines with increased power, an improved silencer and brakes in aluminum among other improvements. However, the Seat 600 car, only marginally more expensive than the Sanglas, dismissed market to the latter.
