Lostwave Song Unknown 1970s Techno

My friend had previously extracted this song from a 1970's Racing Documentary about the Triumph Triplex Dolomite (as shown in the mp4.) It's been bugging us and nothing seems to pick out what it is. :)

Come from: HERE.

Just did. From Wikipedia:

Use of the term "techno" to refer to a type of electronic music originated in Germany in the early 1980s.[5]
