what kind of motor she got?

Sounds like a VW and looks like one too, an old one. Notice the generator as apposed to an alternator.

Thank you. I have contacted him.

Somebody did, mine had it when I came into possission of it. I always wanted to find a front basket to go with the rear ne.

My 4.6 liter V-8 Police Interceptor in a full size Crown Victoria will beat that by better than 11 mpg.

The manual for the Spree (all years) says;

Maximum weight capacity...................82kg (180 lb)
