RACE Electronics Peripherals

Hi all!
I'm sure many of us spotted an auction for some Dragon peripherals recently made by Race Electronics. I know Robcfg did because he's already grabbed the pictures and put them in the Wiki!

I was the lucky winner of the expansion cage, and I'm sure I'll be posting more about it when it arrives - I'd long lusted after a Tandy multi-pak, not knowing there was a homegrown solution for the Dragon, so very excited to see that.
So, does anyone know more about the peripherals? I got in touch with the seller, who said, of the cage - "I live not far from where RACE Electronics was based in south wales. Maybe I bought it directly from them or maybe I bought it from Cumana." If I remember rightly, didn't Race actually build some (all?) of the Dragons? Were these tools that were used internally, or were they for wider sale? I don't remember seeing any of them in the magazines at the time. The fact they weren't in the Wiki until last week makes me think they're quite unique.
Anyone flesh out any history for us here?
Thanks, Tony!
