Moke or Moker model ?

Post by **Nigel(no top)Sykes** » Wed Oct 24, 2007 18:06

Just seen this (110183778153 ) on ebay - is it a model of the Chinese Moker or is it a copy ?
There loads more of them on , just like the full sized version floodingin from China

Oh - and I call it a Moker because have you had a close look at the front name badge on the chinese "moke"

Its not a copy of the Chinese Mokes, its got most of the details right, just a bit coarse.

Interesting that they use the "Registered Trade Mark" symbol. Can they do that? Do they own the MOKE name? If yes, there are some long-term implications to us as a Club.

In the UK they don't, it is owned by Cagiva.

They've registered it here in Australia, and also a number of other countries, I understand.

John from Minibits mentioned in one of his posts that Ming registered the Moke name in at least 40 countries. I searched a few databases but could only find their name on the Australian listing.

Tim,.. "It's got most of the details right - it's just a bit coarse" So it IS a model of a moker then

The other thing is where do you get the little R in a circle from ?

start - all programs - accessories - system tools - character map

anyone can do it doesn't mean it is legal though kind of like printing money with a colour photocopier

No, its got most of the details RIGHT. Ribs on the bonnet, side covers, pressings in the back...

To get an ÃÂ® quickly, hold down the alt key then type 0174 on the number pad, then release the alt key. Or use the character map as Carrie and/or Phil suggest.

I quite like the term Moker, or MokeÃÂ®

I've tried and I can't seem to get my r's in a circle! What happens after you've found them? What if you have a big r's..............or a tight r's? What if it simply won't fit into the space? HELP ME!!!!!!

Nigel - you sound like that Spanish R

....................... Work it out

I thought MokeÃÂ® looked better than choke (or all those other names) used in the past !
