    If I was a rich Hollywood type, I'd buy it and road-alise it.

    Although you'd probably have to take it out of California to do that, what with emissions and wotnot.

    Actually I think I'd have emissions problems just from sitting on the thing.

    The one thing wrong with both of these Brittens is they don't have the super trick, super wiggly tuned headers the earlier ones had. Still pretty spunky though...
    My wife used to work across the road from the Britten factory when we lived in Christchurch. It was kewl when they used to park the bikes outside in front of the workshop when the weather was nice.
    Best memory: three (3!!) Brittens racing in the NZ Grand Prix at Ruapuna, finishing (IIRC) 1st, 2nd and 4th, and the two leading bikes wheelieng almost the length of the front straight on the last lap. Now THAT was kewl!
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....
