Ford Cosworth, but I don't know which. Possibly BDA, probably not BDB-C, and definitely not BDD-G.

While most or all of the components were British in origin, I'm only aware of the car being owned and raced outside of the UK. I believe it was built (as it appears in the puzzle image) by the non-British owner/driver, but it could have been a build/modification based on an existing UK race car.

After finding additional info, my response above should be amended to:
