I watched a 1975 episode of The Sweeney last night, series 3, & was wondering if any of you own a red export style T120/140 reg. number HLR 725N. The bike was used to prove that an armed robber could have carried out a robbery at a bookies in the alloted time by riding through a park, as doing the journey by car on public roads was imposible. I remember watching this in '75 & had it in my mind as a T160. According to the DVLA the bike still exists and is on SORN.

McQueen tried the same trick in one of his films . Tri 650 & 500 dueling in a chase on paths in a park . Wouldve created to much panic if theyed used a car ! .
 
there are a few Triumphs in The Sweeney, another episode has psycho criminal 'Cookie' riding around on a Bonneville, and there is another episode which features a lad with a Mk3 Commando.

Series record on the video machine is a neat thing.
