	The team used two Austin Gipsies. 6146 VP was used as the lead vehicle almost all the way with Peter navigating and Malcolm and Roger driving. The second Gipsy 110 KAE was crewed by Mark, Tony and Don. This pattern was maintained for the entire journey largely so Tony could take film and Mark could keep an eye on both vehicles. This was an era before simple two way radios and the Gipsies were driven within sight of the individual drivers
