PS: I think I need to re-mortgage!

I hope whoever buys that does their due diligence on it, otherwise they are gonna get burnt.

Edit: I just realised its a 1300. So its a genuine example of Grandad's axe. Its had a new engine and a new shell, but its still the original from 1966.

Are P&L dodgy? They are the ones that have been claiming that the Aussie Moke they were selling was one of only 476 made.

I don't care about the status of the dealer.
It's simply too expensive for second hand parts.
Would want a completely new car for that price.

why is there a hole in the floor were the gear stick is ment to be ?

I guess this is as it arrived from Ming, without engine and box?
P+L just fit those bits and sell it as a complete 1966 Moke.
I wonder what the logbook says it is?

Obviously it depends on the power unit they've used, but quite possibly only the 1966 build plate is secondhand, conceivably the rest is brand new.

Dean, I wonder if its a Moke on the logbook?

It could be using a Moke logbook but, at the end of the day, DVLA are not the people to believe when talking about the heritage of a particular vehicle, they are just interested in colecting money.
In the UK, many genuine Mokes are registered as something else and many non-genuine Mokes are registered as Mokes.

It looks like one of the ones that was on show at MiniSport - notice how much inset the wheelrims have - they don't look too bad though.
The seats are awful to sit in too

Hey Dean - There's you being all shocked at the prices over here, but look at this one in your back yard (so to speak)

I've been watching this one very closely. Mainly because its identical to mine. Mine has been fitted with a 1275 and 4 pot disk brakes though (retaining all the original parts for replacement if needed). I paid $3000 for mine about 4 years ago and I estimate that its now worth between 6000 and 9000 of our little dollars. There doesn't seem to be much interest in this one at $16000.

Well at least it's a real one. P&L want A$10,000 more for their replica!

I could by a Moke for that price, and register it legally.
