Yeah, he died a while ago, not sure of the year, but think it was around 97/98, but they carried making on the bike for a while. Beautiful piece of machinery. I saw it going around a track over here, but have to admit the MV Augustas won the horn on wheels stakes (sorry, using my husband's terminology). The sound of the old triples going round the track was just mind-blowing - vintage meeting, but the Britten had to be shown off, of course ;)
The one thing I've never liked about the Britten is the colour scheme - I'm sorry, but I really do hate pink. I thought a nice deep red or blue would've been better. I've met someone who owns a Britten & he just takes it around to shows, don't think he ever rides it, but could be wrong. He had it at a pub once, and was worried about security (these bikes are big bucks), but everyone who was staying in the pub just slept around the bike lol
