There is a terrific biography of John Britten, by Tim Hanna, which details all his efforts and gives a great deal of insight on what it must have been like to be in motor racing and bike racing in NZ at the time. I highly recommend it. It is a shame he died so young, he really was a great genius. You all may be crazy down there, but you sure know how to go fast no matter what you are driving.

My car's chassis was started in Invercargill....small world.
