- Despite its short production run before the closure of the Meriden factory in 1977, the T160 has since earned a reputation as one of the most usable and collectible of the classic British superbikes
- This matching numbers bike was first registered on 06/051976 and has not been used for the last couple of years, though reportedly has been started up periodically, so require some light recommissioning prior to being returned to the road
