The utilitarian Moke (slang for Donkey) was conceived as a light military vehicle and, codenamed The Buckboard, was tested by all three branches of the armed forces. However, its relatively low ground clearance ruled it out of most combat situations and its forte was as a beach buggy in such popular holiday destinations as the Seychelles and the Caribbean. Some 50,000 examples were manufactured all told - UK production ran from 1964 to 1968, while they were also built in Australia, Portugal, and Italy. The monocoque shell comprised a pair of box-section pontoons connected by the floorpan and firewall. Engine, gearbox, suspension etc were standard Mini components, making for economical service and repair. Most of the 14,518 British Mokes incorporated Mini MK1 running gear but the later ones (1967-68) utilised MK2 parts. However, of the 5,422 Austin and 9,096 Morris versions made a mere ten percent or so were 'home market' supplied.

This Morris variant was originally exported to Africa and is believed to have been used by the Rhodesian Fire Service. Subject to a comprehensive restoration in South Africa completed in 2018, the Moke is finished in Red with Black interior and hood. Returning to UK shores in 2018 with South African police clearance and export documents supplied, it is also offered with a UK V5C having been registered here in 2019. Further to the previous restoration works, the Moke has now also been fitted with a new fuel pump and coil in August this year.
