Drexxle , you're description of a Californian Moke is also flawed so you've probably only confused the seller further , my '81 Californian moke is only complied as a 2 seater and has the same matting (or very similar at least) from new .
_________________


Yeah the matting is ridgy diggy,, it was standard in all mokes at that time..

And they were available with or with out a rear seat...

The rest of it is nothing special, and BY NO MEANS CALI

From memory it's cut as if it's come from a roll and not individually moulded , I'll check in the morning if no one's verified it by then .

Yep, serious. :)

It's just rubber matting, it's got chopped edges and it moulds itself with heat... its nothing flash, but don't forget these weren't marketed to compete with Rolls Royce :lol:

Clark Rubber sell the matting (that is the exact same type as factory fitted) off the roll. You only need to cut it to the right shape.

Have a look at this on the Moke forum. It answers some questions about the compliance plate, bumpers, disc brakes, engine size etc etc.

http://www.moke.com.au/Joomla/content/view/29/114/

Helped me to decide that my Moke is not a Californian!

Just a quick pointer to people that study compliance plates or just look at Mokes in general, take a look at how the date is stamped on some 1980 Mokes and this one is a good example.

So what year was it made?
And what year was it stamped. :lol:

According to my Californian Moke the third letter on the Vin/Chassis is the best way to tell if the Moke came off the assembly line as a Californian.
My Number reads- AKFPD19Y.......
The "F" is what you are looking for(1980 onwards).
The Chassis prefix on the one for sale is "PP" which means its a "poverty pack Moke :)
Mind you if he gets the price that his asking,I think my Moke has just doubled in price :D :D

You know,,, I might have seen more than a couple of mokes growing up.. and when I think about it,, after 11/79, none of the genuine Cali's actually had "Californian Moke" on the comp late... they just had "Leyland moke" writen on them... and when I think about it,, about it only about 92% of genuine Gal bodies were actually stamped as a 2 setter,, not a 4...

Ian,, on your Moke that you mentioned earlier,, what does it actually have on the comp plate?
.
.
.
Regardless, the one on ebay IS NOT A CALI, IT IS A BASE MODEL

I'll get back to you tomorrow with the details , it's an odd bod though as the hand written colour sticker (proper colour sticker but with no colour name printed in it's box) is kraft silver though i can't find any mention of kraft having corporate coloured cars or giving one away as a prize .

Dear pos025, you mention that the Moke is in factory new condition, yet many items on the car have been changed:
-Instrument cluster's been painted black
-Top of dash painted black
-Aftermarket mirrors
-Oxygen pump removed
-Wrong heater ducut hosing
-1980 Californians Had roll cages factory
-The handles and Mirror brackets are painted Black

Don't mistake what i am saying for me flaming you, but if you are going to advertise a car as completely original, it ought to be.
On top of that, you are asking $25 000 for the car, when for that money one would expect a show winning car, yet this is in no where near that condition.
I am not sure whether you read 'The Mini Experience' (Australian mini magazine), but there was a Leyland 1275 GT in ACTUAL factory condition, and it sold on ebay for $20 000.

The car in it's current altered state should only be worth $10-12000, whereas you are asking twice that.

I think you should seriously rethink your price.

Hi Champ,
Thanks for the info, I have been offered $20K for it twice now. If I get the $25K I will sell it. If I wanted to ask 50K, I would of. You find me one more original than this I bet you cant. Maybee a couple of piddly things have changed. So What. My Claim is the originality of the moke and if someone wants one, its there choice. All the Best.

I know where there's a more original moke.......I might post photos of it tonight.
It's an 82 californian, everything in mint condition as it all should be.
The most prostine moke I've ever seen. $25000 for that would be good compared to this knock off.
