Actually..... John Britten
If anyone is interested there is a nice book called" Dare to Dream - The John Britten Story " by felicity Price. I have a signed copy from all my NZ buddies back in 2005.

ISBN 1-877270-50-4 and a website  WWW.BRITTEN.CO.NZ

There are quite a few clips and documentaries about John Britten on Youtube - worth watching, also includes an MCN first ride if the Britten as well

They were ahead of their time. Indeed a thing of beauty.
John Britten.....a sad loss, so young.
Have a look at Guy Martin after his ride on one at Manfield. UTube.
