My Grandfather was an agent for Thorneycroft both for their river launches and paraffin engines in South America (Belize and Guatemala) in the years just prior to the First World War

Yes that's why it's quite a special boat. Claimed to be the oldest one still in existence. I assume they mean the oldest big one rather than the oldest Thorneycroft boat.
