Years ago (early '80s) my dad's Volaré with a 6 proved as a successful donor for a friend's bren gun carrier something like this:



Not for restoration but for an all terrain utility vehicle/tractor.

Dont Ask!!!!!!!!!   No it just takes time and money.  Time to deal with customs and the government and money to pay to have the conatiner bring em over, not exactly free shipping on these   My dad, while smart in most areas, is not the most urgent guy, it takes him a while to do anything, that and hes not exactly mechanically proficient.  he knows enough to get stuff running but thats it.  Ill be the main one restoring these I have a feeling.    hes not even touched these in several years, hints their condition. they used to be turn key and drive, but now forget, probably need the motors gone through   anyway, while i save up money on the charger, the one maybe finally worked on.  yes without his presence.
