Dave Phillips from Newport in Gwent driving 'Dragon Power'. For some reason the normal 'Bassaleg Hire' board is missing from the top of the bonnet and by the end of the show so was one of the valves which had an argument with the top of a piston. Oops, that's gonna hurt in the morning (or wallet for that matter)...

The 'Italian Stallion' Ken Neasom pulling in his own inimitable style with his licorice all-sorts of a tractor. The tin work says Leyland 285 but it's actually a Leyland 272 with a Marshall 702 back end. Confusing isn't it!

Just for the record the engine is a 1700 straight-6 from Leyland DAF truck made in 1991, complete with compressor.
