A new one on me. The description throw a little more light:
âNumber 15 of 21 machines built by ex Triumph competition manager Les Williamsâ
Looks like he pirated the ThruxtonâŚ
Iâll get my coat.

It was the âroadsterâ version of the L.P. Williams âLegendâ (Slippery Sam) motorcycles. Not exactly pretty but very sweet, very desirable and, Iâve no doubt, very expensive. Legends, when they do become available are well north of ÂŁ15,000 these days.
Wouldnât say no to this if I could afford it âŚ

You talked to Les about what you wanted, supplied him with a T140 and he applied his magic. He only produced about 20 and they were named to the owner. Very fast, very ugly, very expensive and very wanted by collectors. Not on my Xmas list as application of my hacksaw may lead to the TOMCCâs hitman to visit.
