There’s a mention in this month’s Practical Sportsbike of the TL restored and documented in a previous incantation of this site.

Irnbrufreak rings a bell but I’m not 100% sure.

That's a pretty epic rebuild thread. Trying to overcome 25 years of corrosion and indifferent or downright lacking maintenance makes for hard yards. I loved my '97 full fat TLS. As soon as Ohlins announced a conventional damper to replace the OE door closer piece of crap I was on it. Even today the motor wouldn't disappoint, but 25 years ago the thing was just ballistic.

There was a new old stock TLS on Ebay the other week. A black one with delivery mileage and unregistered. I was gonna link to it but it disappeared almost straight away. Think it was a 2000 model and up at £11k.
