Great collection, thanks for posting pics. Do you display them in a cabinet now or will they go back in the cupboard?

Happy birthday Matt. I've had two 21st birthdays, gees, the second one comes around real quick
Maybe you should tell the oldies you wanted a Full Size Moke. Maybe it's still coming

Nice Moke, it is one of the Vitesse models, there are about 12 in the set, including a nice blue Aussie californian. If you have a look underneath it is also four wheel drive
They were made by an English company that went belly up but a Chinese company has resumed production but the models are the same just different colours.
