Yes Burwins made a kit for the TS but I don't think many were sold.My dad has amongst his MZs and ETZ300, one of Wilf greens official bikes which he converted from 250s,until MZ caught on and brought out their own ETZ301.

Burwins old boy (if still alive) continued rebuilding mz engines at home.after the business closed.pretty much all of the old mz dealers have gone now,which is to be expected.I tended to get all my bits direct from the motherland as even with postage it worked out cheaper,I tended to avoid ost2rad tho as most of their stuff was the cheapest,chinesiest crap.

Many years ago (about 94-2001 ish) Burwins used to get all their BMW twin parts from the place I worked. They were an amazing bike shop, proper old school. I think the guy that did MZ stuff there was called Martin, as you say, don’t know if he is even still alive now.
