Hmm, project Moke for ÃÂâÂÂÃÂã2.500...
OK, maybe been up to discussions before here?
I was just browsing ebay.co.uk, found a Moke (auction nr 260076768444) that need of "some" work.
After 26 bids they are now up at the sum of ã2.500
Hmm, wonder where it will end?
are they really that hard to find?

He cannot be a serious Mini Moker to describe it in his blurb as (see words highlighted in red)
MINI MOKE 1966 .
REG. KUY 870D
VERY RARE .
IN NEED OF FULL REBUILD / REFURB.
ORGINAL LOG BOOK PRESENT.
ALL PARTS ARE FROM A MINI/red]MORRIS MINOR[/color].
YOU WILL HAVE A LOT OF FUN WITH THIS red]BUGGY[/color] WHEN REBUILT.
It still is ã2,500.00 with one hour to go.
I guess that at circa ã1,900.00 mine complete with hood was a bargain even with the added cost of respray, a few lamps etc and some body work on top of that.

I hope the purchaser is happy with his ã2550 worth. Even I was amazed at that price.
Or could it be yet another ID bought, so a younger (Portuguese)Moke can be cloned into something English, more valuable and supposedly "just fully restored", to be sold into an unsuspecting (or uncaring) market. Does it really matter?
Or am I just a cynic? ã2.5K isn't much if you can look at a return of perhaps ã8K+ after spending maybe another 2K. Didn't a "fully restored" Moke sell last year for ã9995? Good English Mokes are rare and desirable. I wish I could make 3.5K+ on everything I did.
Sorry but I don't believe an enthusiast spent ã2.5K on that. It's a shame Ebay have adopted this policy of hiding identities. It gives the dealers an easier hand.

The high-bidder on this Moke was "minisoren" from Denmark.
Could this be the danish minidriver with this homepage:
http://www.detvarsoerens.com/
We will have to check his site regurarly to see if any pics of/news about a Moke comes up.
There are not that many Mokes in Denmark, so this could be a way to get hold of a Moke, despite it was rather pricy. But, as Nigel has pointed out, put in ã2-3k and you have a Moke at a quite "normal" price..
Just check out this Moke that is for sale in Italy:
http://www.i0100.com/en/index.php?area= ... 5335&var=b
Price: 10.000 Euros

And also the club's help if it is this guy in Denmark out on his own.
So it would be good if he knows about the club to keep us up to date with his restoration progress.
That would make for interesting articles in the magazine cause i for one wouldn't know where to start with the project he is undertaking.
He's a brave man.
