Found this on Youtube just now. What a genius John Britten was. It would be good to have him and Bert Munro on your race team. RIP to both.

 

The full documentary is available here:

Thanks TK. Will watch that for sure.

 

Hey, Bordo.

TK sent me the link to the full length version awhile back. Not only is the bike amazing, but his house is just as cool

P.S. Ask TK for the link to the Kiwi Big 3. Great vintage motor racing stories

 

Don't know if Bordo is an old F1 fan, he might enjoy this though.

Love, Speed and Loss - Television | NZ On Screen

 

Watched the first two installments. Will watch the balance soon

The reminiscing by Newcombe's wife reminds me of Rindt's wife in the "Deadly Years" doco

 

Good onya Woof, it is well worth a watch. One of those forgotten heroes on the cusp of the two stroke invasion of GP racing.

Like me, the years haven't been very kind to his wife have they?

She has the look of someone that has spent far too much time in the sun, too many ****, too much alcohol, (like me).

She did actually seem to be a bit of a looker back in the day though (unlike me).
