Re: Moke International
Popped into Hendy this morning to have a look at a Porsche and spotted the fact there are some 15 Mokes out the back of the showroom under protective covers and 5 or 6 inside. Including one with a SOlD sticker on it.
They do look good and fun but not sure I can justify the price tag

Re: Moke International
I saw told today. that Moke international LTD. is already building new petrol and e mokes in the UK. but no one seems to know where to new Moke Assembly plant is located in the UK?? I asked Alex Smith at Hendy in Poole.. this info came from him. but he told me he was TOO busy selling the new mokes to ASK where the new plant is in the UK?/ all sounds like total BS to me.. later bc

Re: Moke International
There is also this.

Please not that is 'MOKE' production.
NOT 'MINI MOKE' production.
Suspect that BMW still owns the name 'MINI MOKE'.

Re: Moke International
Problem with selling the Mokes in that Caribbean is that the import duties basically double (or more) the Carriage, Insurance and Freight(CIF) price.werewolf wrote: ↑Wed Feb 10, 2021 14:53 Well. Moke Int. LTD GB has sold NO cars in the USA... None in the EU./ UK. and seems to have sold NONE in OZ.in the last five years....guess they have sold handful to Caribbean, so how are they even still in business.?? this reminds me of the old Delbert Mcclinton song. SHAKY GROUND.. later bc

Re: Moke International
Right about Moke Int'l being really deep in the RED to the tune of circa £10,000,000.00.werewolf wrote: ↑Sat Sep 25, 2021 16:06 doug.. last time I checked Moke Int ltd in company house they were 10 million quid in the RED.. as for the patent /copyright I am NOT a liberty to tell the whole skinny on it today.. will become public knowledge in few months.. but it is NOT BMW..

Await the report(s) of the patent /copyright in due course. Am sure that it would make a good article for the Club's 'Moking' magazine.
I have sold five of the six 'chokes'. Last one is being held on a deposit until 20 October.
It needs a fuel pump and can't remember if the radio works.
Must check I seem to recall that they had three cylinder engines.
After I sold the last three of five (still holding one), somebody called me up with an offer of US$18,500.00 for that there and the one I am holding.
