Chassis No: TW7XKFP328S980903
MOT: T.B.A
With the laudable intention of providing a lightweight scout vehicle for the British Armed Forces, BMC inadvertently created one of the Swinging Sixties’ most iconic vehicles, the Mini-derived Moke. Lack of ground clearance made the utilitarian four-seater ineffective as a military tool, yet the civilian version carved itself a niche as a cult mass-produced ‘beach buggy’ or ‘resort car’ for nations with hotter climes than Britain. Moke production began in Britain (14,500 units in 1964-68) before moving to Australia (26,000 1966-81) and finally Portugal (10,000 1980-93). Portuguese manufacture allowed the Moke to rationalise components with the then-current Mini Mk4, including the fitment of disc brakes and 12-inch wheels.
Understood to be a Portuguese-built example and UK registered in 2023, this amazing example of a ‘resort car’ with heritage dating back to the first iteration of the Moke, with a more modern appearance, had been residing in France for a number of years. Displaying a credible c.89,000km (c.56,000 miles), this example is a Mini Moke 25th Anniversary Edition that has been built in left-hand drive. Indeed, it has lived a good life in the South of France, with the vendor informing us that the moke is in great condition and lacking rust. The vendor has decided to sell the Moke, due to the loss of storage. Unfortunately, the White soft-top roof and side curtains are no longer with the Moke, likely because it was used in fair weather overseas. UK registered in 2023 and supplied with a V5C, it is expected to be in the possession of a new MOT and a service by the time of the sale.
