G'day, My mother has a really nice blue vw 1956 that is sitting in her shed for the past 5 years and never gets a run because the battery in is like 10 years old and never starts, and was wondering what the best place to go get a 6 Volt battery from is and if there is a special type that everyone seems to be using for the older cars.

Much appreciated

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true
