That's good to know, and looking at their portfolio, they have done some stunning work.

I do wonder how cost effective it would be getting new heads for the V12 when good 2nd hand ones are still available at reasonable cost. I guess that with modern CNC machines the cost is kept down, allowing a wide variety of things to be made.

No wonder reproduction Bugattis are being manufactured!!
