G'day Mr Red,
John Britten was one of a string of NZ TT Racers = who peaked in the 1950s. My favourite was Barry Briggs. Ahhh... for the throaty rumble of a Brit Bike - Last one we had on Stewart Island was a Triumph 650, and that went offshore a decade back. Mind you, it was wasted here - we have <20km of narrow winding road. The 'Trumpy' could have been sold One careful owner -- Never been out of 1st Gear.
