DESCRIPTION

  • Various models were produced until 1973 when dwindling sales from overseas competition saw the end of the line for the T100

  • Owners customised their bikes by taking everything off that wasn't necessary and fitting off-road tyres
  • This example is a recreation of those On Any Sunday-style bikes
  • T100 frame and T100SS engine, sump guard, off-road tyres, no lights or clocks and straight-through pipes
  • Benefitting from a recent recommission and now presented in running order
