The return of this thread has reminded me of the first northern drag and custom show that was held in Manchester in 1966 (or was it 67/68? - my CRAFT memory escapes me)
It was organised by Paul Hicks and Clive Lingard.
I think there was a (British Drag Racing)magazine feature done on it.

Looks like Bacofoil need quite well from the show as there's an unbundance of aluminium foil all over the place, and yes it does look like Allan jnr.
