A Merlin engine.

Rolls Royce were not happy about the home-brew because he fitted their grille to the front of the car, so they sued him for breach of trademark.

John Dodds "the beast" lives in Spain I believe.

Charlie's SD1 has now got ohc's  & he's in the process of building a supercharger set up for it.

I had the pleasure of meeting John Dodd and the first incarnation of the  Beast at Biggin Hill in the 70's.

An incredible machine. The first Beast caught fire in Sweden and he rebuilt it into the beige Beast that he still

has in Spain. I'm pretty sure he said it was governed to 200mph as he didn't dare go any faster. 

The Germans weren't too keen on him using the autobahn as a test track and I believe they refused him

entry the second time he went there. Two miles to the gallon. Eeek!

Problems with the flywheel becoming unstuck at speeds approaching 200 mph
