Certainly did, and a nice little unit it was, having had all the bugs
fixed by then. Pity they didn't fix them years before. I recall seeing a
V8 version produced by some bloke - lovely little lump.

I saw one such V8 in a motorcycle...very nice it looked too, neat bit of
engineering.

Front Cover of this month Imp Club mag. Two separate imp engines one
facing forward, one back. No flywheels, separate cooling systems,
engines linked with staight cut gears from a RR RB211 gearbox drive
system, Drive taken from front of one engine to Kawasaki Z1300 box
converted from shaft to chain drive. Rover V8 distributor. water cooling
through frame tubes. Home made frame and swinging arm, Fork Yamaha
FJ100

One engine each way to avoid manifolds on the inside of the 'V', also
zero torque reaction.
