Mine was the B100, the street version of this. I suspect the B105s were imported here from 1965 - 67. Yours could be considered a '68 if that was when it was registered, cuz that's how they did things back before VINs. In 68(?) they changed the name to TC120, and dropped the dual sprockets for an arrangement similar to the Honda CT90s. Like Honda, they ;started using displacement in the model's name. I also had a 250cc X6 Hustler and a T500 Titan, the 500cc two-stroke twins that were their answer to the Honda CB450.
The Hustler had 20K miles on it and had bad piston slap, but would still smoke a BSA 650 in the 1/4 mile. Both literally and figuratively. After the 1/4, well, there's no replacement for displacement.
