    Walk into your neighborhood chain parts store and ask for parts for it. That will freak them out. LOL.

    These were quite common in Germany after the War and there are probably a dozen or two left in Australia, with a few still running.

    Originally they used VW engines and trans in a front wheel drive configuration.

    Later cars (like this one) use an Austin engine.

    Back in the day a 1 ton carrying capacity in Europe for a delivery vehicle was huge so the name Goliath probably fitted.
