Just like BMW has a company making parts for their vintage motorcycles, there is a company called British Motor Heritage which makes and in many cases licenses out the remanufacture of components for many popular British sports cars such as Triumph and MG. They even go so far as to remanufacture - to a better standard then original - complete bodies for MGB's and TR6's along with the tiny mundane items required to keep old sports cars on the road. So I have to wonder - why doesn't Campagnolo see the opportunity - it surely exists and a president is firmly established with other well respected and (sometimes) profitable companies?
