A one-off 1981 touring prototype from the last Meriden days, intended to rival the BMW R100RT. It combined the parallel twin with a Weslake 8-valve head, alloy wheels, twin discs and a full fairing styled by Ian Dyson. It never reached production because the 50 orders needed for a limited run did not come.
