The picture is that of it being raced/sprinted at possibly Oulton Park, with the photo being taken at cascades? If you can possibly assist in finding more history I would be extremely grateful.

My son at Autosport Towers has received the above request from David Hall, who acquired this car in September 2006 in very poor condition but it is now well into the rebuild. Can we help David with any of this car's history?

Just found this thread,sorry to say that the registration is not one familiar to me.However,the Camshaft could be something to do with Syd Segal?
DVLA have an on-line registration check,that could help.
The steam injection sounds like a possible private venture,interesting! I have looked to try and find anything on the history on the registration but nothing recorded.
