David's BRAT



My friend, David, is selling his Subaru BRAT - Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Transporter. He's spent the best part of a year rebuilding it and getting everything running properly. It's cool.

They were the subject of numerous lawsuits in the 'States because the market-specific seats in the load space (open to the air, atmosphere, and hard, sharp things to die against) were so dangerous in accidents, leaving many litigation orientated Americans to ponder how Subaru justified such a design. Well, one of those trials found there to be a saving of >20% tax for Subaru if they could call it a passenger car by the addition of carpet and the 'Jumpseats', instead of paying to sell it as a commercial vehicle. 

It would be great, wouldn't it; riding in the back on a sunny day, perhaps on a ranch in California, as per Ronald Regan in the eighties (I understand he was a big fan). The only other one I've known was owned by a guy called Jim we knew back home, he lived on a farm and it was the perfect workhorse come sideways learning carriage.
