I didn't know that Argentina was in North America!

You lucky I did not put them under the UK. That would have pleased Maggie!

Just in case you missed it (as if?) and to keep the ball rolling, I have copied below an earlier post I made after Goodwood last year: -

"Coincidentally - and nothing to do with Jowetts - I have a contact in Argentina who is very active in the 'Old Car' scene.

When I mentioned your encounter to him, I received the following (I have left it 'as is' for the flavour!): -

'Jakie Forest Greene is a well known expert in antiques or old cars, now involved in a project of replicar Mercedes SSK, for sell.

Before WWII his father was chief service of Bentley, and surely could be related with other English makes. A family and a man always related with cars, races, and so on. By the '60-'70 Jakie managed the Argentine Peugeot Racing Team, with big succes.

Sadly, Eric Forest Greene (Jakie's father) died in a sport car race near earlier fifties, on a terrific accident, where car and driver fired and went burned. I was more or less 10 years old and I remember very well those images.

I didn't met Mr. Jakie Forest Greene personally, but surely some onf my friends do, so if you are interested to be in touch with him, I can ask for his e-maill adress. He lives such as 500km from my house, in or near the capital -Buenos Aires- of our country. I am sure he speaks and writes English very well, not like me.'

Like you said before - small world!"

Are there any other cars / contacts in Argentina?

And for those that would like to see a SSK type R i will put a picture of mine on the Jowet gallery.

There are some pictures taken of Jackie Forest Greene at Goodwood in 2006 in the Gallery
