The Mini Moke is based on the Mini and designed for the British
Motor Corporation (BMC) by Sir Alec Issigonis. The name comes
from 'Mini'- the car with which the Moke shares many parts and
'Moke' - an archaic dialect term for donkey. The initial
design was a prototype for a light military vehicle in the style of
the American Jeep but its small wheels and low ground clearance
made it impractical as an off-road vehicle. It was
subsequently offered in a civilian version as a low-cost. easily
maintained utility vehicle. The Moke finally achieved success as a
beach buggy-becoming a popular 'cult' vehicle in the Seychelles. br/>Australia. the USA and many tropical resorts in the
Caribbean. Mokes were first built at the Morris factory in
Oxford. before production moved to BMC's Longbridge. Birmingham
plant and eventually. overseas.

This UK supplied. 1969 Austin Mini Moke has recently been the
subject to a full restoration with lots of new panels fitted. The
previous owner had known the car for over 30 years and the person
he acquired it from informed him that this was one of three special
order Mokes. made for the Devon and Cornwall Police and fitted with
a 1100cc engine for patrolling on the Isles of Sicily and around
the perimeter of Dartmoor Prison. Returned to the original Old
English White with black seat cushions. black roof and a complete
set of weather equipment. it is supplied with a V5C registration
document and an MoT test certificate which expires in March 2016.
The vendor has recently driven this Moke to a classic car show and
reported that it performed 'superbly'.
