Thats the Gladiators banger team, very well known in the sport. Their regular track is Arena Essex near the Dartford bridge. They often race in Begium.
The pictures below show one of the drivers who used his Scorpio as his wedding car a week before racing it in Belgium.
Note the painted on door plates.
Tomorrow (10 September) there is a all Granada meeting at Mildenhall stadium Suffolk. Expecting quite a few Scorpios racing.

they normally drop the old 2.8 in from a mk2, The Gladiators have a big Scrapyard in Colchester, And i believe one person at the yards full time job is building bangers. they have 15 or so full time members in their team.
Just got back from the all granada meeting, 30 mk1 and mk2 granadas, 2 mk 3's and 15 Scorpios!
