Done a little research on Big Al's car.
Now it was known that the car was imported and raced by Dennis Wheatley the Author.
While Al was building his engine with Paul of Watford axles fame Paul casually mentioned that he remembers the car racing and that Wheatley had a full pit crew and raced at the pod.
The car was known as :-
THE DEVIL RIDES OUT.
Which was a best selling book by Dennis Wheatley and later Hammer house of horror movie.
Here is a rare pic of the car running and some associated film poster pics.

Honest its all true
In the Protean depths of Christopher Lee's back catalogue, it is somewhat of a rarity for him to play against type. Although his portrayal of villains runs the gamut from the mindless monster to the evil genius, the number of times he has played the hero, or even the protagonist can be counted on one hand. In the film The Devil Rides Out (1968), Lee has the rare chance to play both.
Based on the Dennis Wheatley novel, the film is a classic Manichean struggle of good against evil and follows the worldly Duc de Richeleau (Christopher Lee) and close associate Rex Van Ryne (Leon Greene) as they attempt to rescue their young protege Simon Aaron (Patrick Mower) from the grip of a coven of satanists, led by the charismatic Mocata (Charles Grey). The Duc, schooled in cabalism and black arts, realises that Simon's soul is endangered and disrupts the Black Mass wherein Simon and Rex's obligatory love interest Tanith (Nike Arrighi) are being prepared to be baptised into satanism.
