Oooh I dunno ‘bout that…Yes they handle differently. The 961 is more stable in fast corners, and, of course, had far superior suspension, but the Vin is much lighter, and turns much faster (helped by bicycle width tyres).More accurately machined? In theory yes, Vincent had equipment that was obsolete even then! But, and it’s a big but, they had skilled labour. And some of the stories on here point to hugely inaccurate machining and QC at Norton.More frugal? Dunno, I never checked on either.The big benefit the 961 does have which you forgot is the braking.But, in any meaningful sense, comparisons are futile really.
