Excellent find, thanks! Thank God there are people like Britten in this world- and what a shame he left us so soon.



The clip of the girl and MX ain't shabby either. ;)

A few years back my younger brother went on holiday to NZ and went to Christchurch to visit the Britten 'factory', basically a big shet. He bought some posters there and a few copies of this documentary. Everytime I look at the film start wetting my eyes and get a lump in my throat. Have been lucky to have worked as a technical scrutineer for years and have had the Britten in hand during a BOTT race in Holland. Later once more a Britten ridden by Lex van Dijk, who won the BOTT race in Daytona.

Cheers, Rob

Better sorry for failing then for the lack of trying.

Sam Britten - John's son - has put together a Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Britten-Motorcycle-Company/169980059684777

He is also working on updating the www.britten.co.nz website. Sam has enormous talent, so hopefully there will be some good content in there.

We dug up and restored some photos that Harry Ruffell (my dad) had taken of John and the bike. They are on the DVD along with other new content.

Regards,

Ben
