Brilliant bike. Decades ahead of it's time. And then it took 40 years for the Japanese to catch up with Scott.

Cheaper than a big Gamma. https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1041871" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Here's the replica of a TT version (father/son rebuild project). Starts off as a silent movie until 29 seconds. Best line in the vid "hope we don't annoy the neighbours doing this (starting the engine)" LOL. Did the same thing warning up my RD 2 days ago. They had to push start the Scott - isn't that how TZ's work?
