Nope. Contrary to all the Internet experts saying "idiot thinks his engine is OK he's obviously blown it"... it was absolutely fine. Drove it for another couple of thousand miles after repairing the bodywork damage. Took the engine out to get forged internals installed recently and the guy who did the engine build said all looked fine and no signs of any damage from the over revving. I think the fact that I had the slippery stock tyres on helped, as they started losing grip faster than most tyres would and therfore didn't force the engine to speed up as much
