THIS is the dramatic moment a £20,000 sports car caught fire on a Derbyshire road.
The bright-yellow TVR was travelling along near the top of Winnatts Pass, close to Castleton, in the Peak District, when the driver smelt the burning clutch.
The picture was taken by Ashbourne photographer Rod Kirkpatrick, of F Stop Press.
He said: "After the fire, a Good Samaritan stepped in - risking his life with a tiny fire extinguisher.
"He dampened down the fire so the fire service could extinguish it - not before removing a plastic petrol can from the car's boot."
Driver Graham Newsam, from Bradwell, said: "I don't know who he (the Good Samaritan) was but he might have just saved the day. He was driving the other way, stopped, and got his fire extinguisher out.
"I smelt the clutch coming up the hill, then the pedal went down and we stopped. I think the clutch caught fire."
