It’s believed that Matchless made just 125 of the TCS models, almost all bound for the U. S. – each was fitted with a Matchless version of the big bore kit and fed by an Amal GP 1 3/ 8? carburettor, and the engine is a pre-unit with a separate 4-speed gearbox.
Suspension is telescopic fork upfront with a swinging arm rear and twin shock absorbers, the frame is a duplex cradle, front and rear fenders are aluminum to save on weight, and there are drum brakes front and back
Most examples weren’t fitted with a headlight or speedometer – they were intended as pure desert racing machines and as such they were fitted with a well-padded seat and a slim fuel tank.
