Birmingham, AL -- Nine of the 10 Britten V1000 motorcycles created by innovator John Britten (1950-95) will be at the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum on Oct. 9-11, during the 11th Annual Barber Vintage Festival, presented by the Triumph Dealers of North America. This is a significant event, as there have never been this many of the rare Britten V1000s together at the same time.
The family of the late John Britten, including his wife Kirsteen Britten, his children, and grandchildren, are traveling to the event from New Zealand. Kirsteen Britten will speak at "An Evening with Britten,” a fundraiser dinner for the Barber Museum, a 501(c)(3) Not-for-Profit Foundation, on Oct. 9. She will present seminars, along with special guests Bob Brookland and Craig Roberts, featuring the Cardinal Britten, on Oct. 10 and Oct. 11.
A documentary about John Britten’s life, One Man’s Dream, will show at The Alabama Theatre on Oct. 10, at 6:30pm. Special parking will be offered for motorcycles, and members of the Britten family will attend. Throughout the weekend, there will be film crews at the Barber Museum gathering footage from the event.
