An encore of an earlier photo of mine, taken now a quarter of a century ago on January 1, 1996!
Kathy Ireland, Naomi Campbell and Vendela Kirsebom were prominently featured on Fritos-Lay's parade float to introduce Baked Lay's potato chips in the 1996 Tournament of Roses Parade. This was on Orange Grove Blvd. before the parade started.
That year and a couple of others, I did some detail float decoration work for Festival Artists, the constructor of this parade float and others. Because of that connection, I was able to get this kind of access on New Years Day before the Rose Parade started.

1984 Leyland Constructor 2
A.L. Nicklin & Sons, Coventry
British Motor Museum, Gaydon, 12 June 2022
Operated by Edward Beck & Son Ltd of Stockport this 1967 registered Scammell Constructor 6x6 heavy haulage ballast tractor Reg No HJA 148F was named 'Katy' after Teddy Beck's eldest daughter Kathryn.
This particular vehicle was purchased brand new by Edward Beck from Scammell Motors and came onto the fleet late in 1967 as a replacement for their S20 Foden 6X4 ballast tractor Reg No ODB 793 'Big Bopper', which was destroyed by fire on the M6 motorway earlier that same year.
It is pictured here heading home up the M6 at Junction 12 while hauling a pair of empty dolly trailers.
Another Visit to Tony's place and filming for the new Hell Drivers film should start soon and this is just a small selection of some of 8 wheeled stars that will be in this production...
Graham Booth's Scammell Contractor recovery lorry is seen here about to park-up in the car park of The British Commercial Vehicle Museum in Leyland, during their British Lorries event held on the 20th of August 2023.
Alpha Recovery of Cramlington in Northumberland has achieved TV-fame through the series Winter Road Rescue. Closer to home, it has become a regular attender on the HCVS Tyne-Tees Run with an interesting selection of heavy recovery vehicles. Whilst depicted at the South Shields end of the run, this isn’t an actual Alpha Recovery vehicle but another entrant photoshopped in the company’s livery (08-Jun-22).

A few shots I have captured while visiting Aberdeen Harbour in Scotland, bright sunshine is always my prefered weather when capturing these beautys.
Seen over-nighting near Tamworth, is 1984 Leyland Constructor powder tanker, B561PNG of the wonderfully sounding firm of Pozzolanic Lytag Ltd. The firm are no-longer in business but would appear to have been part of the RMC Group. The Leyland has the set-forward sleeper-cabbed version of the T45 cab, which also featured on some Roadtrain models.
This fictional Leyland Constructor is a step-up from the motley fleet of Bedford TK recovery vehicles operated by the Tyne & Wear Passenger Transport Executive. Built from 1981 to 1984, the Constructor was the heaviest model in Leyland’s T45 range and some four-axle tippers appeared with Scammell badges. After Leyland-DAF merger, the Constructor was re-badged as the 60-Series until replaced by the DAF-designed 85-Series. This image is based on a vehicle preserved in the livery of Dundee Corporation Transport, which happened to be followed by a Tyne & Wear PTE Scania bus when photographed at South Shields in 2009 (18-May-22).

The T45 Leyland Constructor eight-wheeled chassis were most commonly bodied as tippers and relatively few were used by operators for general haulage work such as flats, etc. Parson's Transport from Aylesbeare in Devon had this then, quite unusual, T45 Constructor fitted with a curtainside body in their fleet for a few years. The Leyland was new in 1987 and remained on fleet until withdrawn in 1999.

1986 Leyland Constructor 30.25 tipper, C645 RPM, in the fleet of Hall Aggregates South East Ltd from Maidstone, part of the RMC Group. This Leyland was last on-the-road in May 1997. Again, no Leyland badging is present.
Le Mans 2003
Fabled British constructor Lister arrives in the top-level prototype class with Andy Thorby's menacing and radically-designed open-top Storm LMP.
The arrangements between sister companies Audi and Bentley become clear; with no proper factory effort from Audi, Bentley is free to pursue their aim of overall victory. Bentley picks up some top Audi drivers and have the legendary Joest Racing team running the effort, bringing formidable experience, strategy, and preparation. The new Speed8 is a stunning masterwork of prototype design, too. With references to the radical Peugeot 905 Evo2 and Allard J2x-C, it looks like it came from outer space.
With Joest and the team helping Bentley, there is no official factory Audi presence this year. The the latest R8s are being run by customer teams Goh from Japan, Audi Sport U.K. and Champion from the USA.
Cadillac is gone and the team running the Dallara SP1 didn't make the trip from the States. Last of the Americans, Panoz tries one last time with team JML running a pair of his revamped LMP1-Evo cars from last year and a strong driver team including Max Papi, Gunnar Jeannette, Oliver Beretta, and Bill Auberlen. They do pretty well at 5th overall behind Bentley and Audi.
Courage is here too with their tried and true version of C60. Pescarolo continues his design evolution based on the C60, with Peugeot power.
Japan’s sharp Dome S101 is run by several teams, including the home Kondo team with proper JDM Yokohama Advan backing.
Follow along as I retrace the important and interesting prototypes of the Le Mans "LMP" era and the story of Audi's legacy. #legolemans
1992 Leyland Constructor 30-25 tipper of RMC Roadstone Ltd, Western Area, based at Wickwar Quarry, Glos. was photographed when four years old in 1996. The Leyland was last licenced in 2002 and was exported according to the DVLA. You never know, I might of inadvertently photographed it without realising on Malta in its new guise, if that's where it went to.
