I was referring to upgrade to the current model, not to modifications. For example, when Brompton comes with a new crank or new brake lever or a new pedal or a new handlebar or a new shifter, you can get them for your old model. More or less, you buy it once and keep it current if you wish. I had two Dahons so I know the difference from personal experience.
