main trading had a message in my inbox saying kenwood is discontinueing it due to no parts. surely when parts start flowing they will start v 71a up again
 

Depends, if parts become obsolete, production will stop permanent.
If it is shortage of components they might start producing again if parts become availablle again.
Without knowing why parts shortages are there we can't say is it?
If key parts aren't produced anymore it will be end of production.
