I am researching the history/fate of two British made Foden steam tractors that were exported to Buenos Aires in 1931. I have information and photos that I can send to anyone who is interested to help.This project might suit a retired engineer or someone with an interest in engineering history.
The payback might be, if you find them, they are worth at least £100,000 each in Britain and perhaps half of that in Argentina.
Even parts of them are worth good money.

If this search appeals to you send me a PM. Many thanks.
