@ai6yr According to Wikipedia, there have been thousands of kits sold for the follow-up, the B.8 and B.8M!
Quite who was buying these is unknown, to me at least, but someone obviously loves the idea of one.

Seen auto-gyros flying two summers at the EAA Fly-In in Oshkosh Wisconsin early ‘90s. There are 5 at the museum.
