That huge puff of smoke at startup tells me that British smog laws must be way more lenient than places in the US. No way would that ever pass CARB specs. But damn...turning a shitty little Vauxhal into a 2200hp beast is just...damn.

Well...it depends. In most places in America you still would. I don't know anything about British emissions standards so that might be true...but they don't mention it in that clip.

since the car is so old and there were no standards for cars in the 60/70's there is nothing to measure it against.

It is standard that once the car is over 25 years you only have to get it safetied.
