V8's are old news rob, V12's are the "in" thing now :)

This months Classic Bike has a feature on Alan Millyard the V12's builder, he makes stuff like that (also Kawaski 5 cyl two storkes) in his one car garage, cutting the engine blocks with a hand saw....

Eric, th4 current owner of MTC would not have seen it.  I saw it when MTC was in Calif. I believe it was made in the UK. I think that this one was only a mock up and didn't run.

The rear bank of cylinders don't seem to line up with the crank centre of the front ones, perhaps it's not a true V8, more just two straight fours linked in a V formation.

The V on the RC bike is spaced much further apart Eric.

I guess you're right Sam, not enough room for the blower on the MTC version. Just wondered though if perchance the MTC engine was a prototype for the RC one. Hope you get a response from MTC then we might know. Awsome engineering.
