As far as recreations, I think that is a great question. There is a cottage industry in England for remaking old classic bikes. I will have to look through my old copies of Italian Bike, and English mag that was only in print for 10 issues. In one of them, they profile a couple of Brits that now make complete recreations of MV fours from the 60's. They are painstakingly authentic IIRC. Cost is extremely high of course. But if they can reverse engineer and produce something that obscure, why couldn't someone do the same with the Britten? |
Cost is one reason. Another might be out of respect, as the family is still involved with refurbishing the existing ones.
