HESKETH ... THE BRITISH BRITTEN ?

I have heard people compare a Hesketh with the Britten . In reality , apart from both being 1000cc V-twins , there is very little similarity , apart from the fact they are both extremely rare , and are the result of idealistic engineers rather than marketing gurus with an eye for sales figures . The Britten of course is a racing machine , the Hesketh is more of a road going Vincent or Brough Superior .
