EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the vintage charm of Foster Showman's Tractor 13149, affectionately named "Venture." Manufactured by the esteemed William Foster & Co. of Lincoln in 1914, this tractor is a rare and intriguing piece of mechanical history. With its distinctive design and impressive specifications, it stands out among other antique vehicles. The tractor, which is registered as FE 1216, boasts compound cylinders, adding to its power and efficiency. The compound engine design allows the exhaust gases from the high-pressure cylinders to be used to power the low-pressure cylinders, maximizing the utilization of fuel.

Its compound engine, with its intricate details and meticulously crafted components, is a testament to the engineering prowess of its era. This particular tractor was likely in use during the 1970s and 1980s, a time when such machinery held a special place in the hearts of many. The "Venture" may not have been used for commercial purposes, but it certainly captured the imagination and admiration of those who encountered it. The photograph, taken during this period, beautifully captures the essence of the tractor and the nostalgia it evokes. With its rich history, impressive engineering, and undeniable charm, Foster Showman's Tractor 13149, "Venture," remains a cherished piece of the past that continues to fascinate and inspire.
