Hi,

I'm having fun trying to track down previous registration details on a Moke I have.

It came to me minus engine, compliance plate and any papwerwork. All I have to go on is the Chassis number YJBAB8R4744.

The Australian Associoation of Motoring clubs is trying to find the Moke in pre-1984 VicRoads records.

What I need is the ORIGINAL engine number of a Moke with a close chassis number that was probably registered in Victoria prior to 1984. This will help them find a Moke close to mine and hopefully work through a few records to find mine!

Anyone out there with a Vic Rego Moke with chassis prefix YJBAB8R4### that knows the original engine number of their car?

Cheers,

Any idea of age? Big or small wheel? Etc...

I'd check mine, a 78, but it's at my parents place. 8)

Big Wheeler 1098 engine I do believe :wink:
Would be 10YF/U/H***** ? :?

I may have one at home, but I'm in NSW! :lol:

Yep, it's about 72/73, 13"wheels, 1098cc

The prefix 10YF/U/H may be enough. But if I can get a complete engine number for one it will help heaps.

Thanks,

I have seen one with that prefix from 68/69.
So that could explain the lack of ID/Compliance plate. :?

The engine number prefix helps, but if I can get a full number that will help more.

That chassis number is pretty close BIAM, but the engine number is a 998 - much later than the car.

It doesn't have the original engine number stamped anywhere on a build plate or something?

nope not on the plate. I should check out what diff I have now

Actually Bnicho, the moke I quoted was supplied with a pile of bits including a later 998, I always thought the two didn't belong together? Who knows? The engine number prefix I quoted (10YF/U/H) came from both the Mini car club guide and Mini Kingdom catalogue.

Both these sources have been wrong before!

Have you tried the Moke Forum? :roll:

The 998 in my Moke is pre-detox so it could be period but is most likely a mini unit installed when the original died (?)

Most probably, or even a later Moke/Mini one with an early head and no emissions gear. I wouldn't worry about it personally. :)
