If it was a 1978 machine then it would just be one of the quite rare early crossover T140E models...mind ALL T140E's had factory fitted Mk2 amals, but they could have been replaced, I used to run my Royal Wedding on Mk1.5's rather than BINGS fr'instance.
It does seem to be running an unlikley frame, again not quite right with the frame number.
As a Feb 1980 it is a 1979 "model" year bike HA 11001 being the first that year, I'm assuming it has a neutral switch and instrument binnacle a' la T160?.
A little puzzling...Lucas ignition of course?
Cheers
Brian
