3 mokes

Post by Racing Green »

These were pointed out on ausmini:

6-wheeler moke

Moke with gullwing doors

10" aussie moke on a budget (I thought it was a U.K. moke)

The garage was too short for a full sized moke, so I just bought a Schmitt ;-)

The third one isn't a UK Moke, its an early Aussie, from before 13" wheels were invented. They were pretty close to the UK ones but had a few different details and 998cc engines.

That gold one with the gullwings has been for sale for a while, not really surprising when you look at it and then consider the price. Its a perfect example of how spending a fortune to modify something to suit your own taste can be a mistake.

The differences (that I know of/remember)are, The bumper -front subframe mounting and coming through the front panel. I think the rear one is different too. Instrument housing as per later Aussie Mokes (with the parcel shelves). Cable/pipe covers inside. Seats. Steering column ?
I'm sure there are some other differences but I can't recall them at the moment

I have to admit that I don't know all the differences either, I've only ever seen photos of English Mokes. On top of Nigel's list I can add front and rear lights, the roof (Australian didn't narrow in at the the bottom at the back) and possibly the rear roof bar, windscreen wiper arrangement and I'm pretty sure ours had different rear vision mirrors. Ours also had flexible vinyl side screens either side of the windscreen, but I'm not sure if they were there right from the start, by the end they were replaced with rigid perspex ones.

I thought the lights were the same? The front ones look the same as an English on the Aussie I posted anyway.

Dean, you could be right, I was thinking the aussies had cheap looking round orange ones. I wonder why that one you posted has a solid strip across the grille? I've not seen that before.

The caps on the ends of its bumpers are wrong too.
