When I got my Snapdragon 23, although the engine was seized and no part of it servicable - I did get a service leaflet, and a parts catalogue/owners guide
The owners guide is in pdf format, and will take a while to load The original Vire BVR manual
is available, in PDF format, on a Dutch website that specialises in making old out-of-print manuals available for everybody. It is presented as two very big files, of 2.91 MB and 1.75 MB, so be prepared for a slow download.

You'll need Adobe Acrobat to read PDF files. If you don't already have it, Adobe Acrobat Reader is available as a free download.
