New Moke feature in Autocar

Post by woolfie »

Any thoughts on the feature in the new Autocar magazine about the new Moke going on sale in the UK? Looks like more power with less output Max speed 68 mph I can peddle harder than that in my old Moke .
Wind in the hair fun :D

I saw the piece on Facebook. I'm surprised that they are able to sell them here as new cars, can the get through the required safety checks? Fuel consumption figures don't look good either, wonder what the weigh?

Hi. Done a bit of research. You can, apparently, produce up to 60 vehicles and avoid the main tests, and use SVA.
