It’s what traincrew in the midlands call them. Not 100% sure why. Possibly, because in terms of power they are the mid-point between an original type 4 loco like a 40, and a type 5?

Countachs were used as pace cars for the Monaco Grand Prix for several years in the early '80s, so I would guess that's a support race for the F1.

Couple of early H10 Toyota HiAces there - one between the CF and the VW facing away, the other facing the camera next to the other VW.
