There appears to be another Berkley on the Evalbum http://www.evalbum.com/1016 and many other small cars, such as Mike B's Gogomobil. The Evalbum has a very handy search function, for example on type/make and the contact info of owners is listed so you can get into contact with other owners who have faced similar challenges and experiences as you will get.
