There is a T01 for sale up here (Scotland) but it's not the best example. Tempting all the same.
One of my books says 1987. But that may be the last point at which the author saw them for sale. Opening the possibility that production ended a bit earlier. It would be interesting to hear from owners what the date stamps on their ones are.

I can't imagine why anyone would have bought one once the HW77 came out. On the other hand, stuff like the Webley sidelevers soldiered on into the late 90s: you could still buy a "new" (maybe slightly old stock?) Tracker in March 2000.
