I wonder how well that heater will work and why is ther still an expansion tank in the engine bay?

If you look closely the expansion tank looks like it may be plumbed into the heater in some way(some components of the engine may be water cooled?)

Does anyone know if this is the moke that's parked on Mona vale rd for sale with all the other cars as you go up the hill?

I live adjacent to Mona Vale Rd and havent seen this particular one. Although if it was seen in Curl Curl its probably living up near my end of the beaches. Ill keep an eye out.

Re: heater & expansion tank; on a few production electric cars the battery packs are water cooled, it could be a similar situation here.

Some traction motors are water cooled too, but I don't think the one in that Moke is. The hoses seem to go down underneath somewhere.

It's normally the controllers that are water cooled, not the motors.
I like the battery packs a lot, much better than the '70s university mokes with all the lead/acid batteries in the back.
