Looks like another one close to me at least, going by the phone number. Tractor is still in New Zealand and looks a bit rough. Hope Pascal sees this, he has just brought seven from Denmark to Holland. Got himself a little gold mine if this is a reflection on the price.

They must have brought a fair few out here, they crop up regularly on Trade Me the NZ online auction site. Don't know what it would cost to fill and send a container back the way they came!

I'd want a bit more security for 50K than an ebayer with a history of 2 very intermittent sales, even with a landline number and 100% feedback

Surprised NZ are granting an export license for such a rare part of their history - they have thrown a spanner in the works of several traction engine repatriations over the years and even if I had the money, I'd be most unlikely to get the two Riches and Watts stationary steamers 'released' even if their owners would part with them.

For that I might even consider selling Dotty .......... for a second!

Made contact with the seller as he is quite local. His brother lives in New Zealand and he is exporting the tractor which should arrive in a few days. He is going to let a friend and I look at it but it is already sold. More later.
