I was looking at this as well, are they the source of the moke replacement shells whoever makes these, or are they old mokes kept in good nick.

The steering wheels etcetera don't look that old.

They're the Portugese "Cagiva" mokes , Macau was a Portugese colony originally and they flooded the island with mokes as cheap transport years ago , most ended up as hire cars . This is a brochure from one of the hire companies . I have also been told the hire mokes are no longer available as they are too old for the Macau registration or hire rules . One of the UK moke clubs had a heap of photo's in a club mag of the mopke burial ground in a yard owned by the hire company , they were in very bad condition by the time they were retired :(

Nice find Ian. The steering wheels were Rover ones as found in the Mini Mayfair, and I saw a plate on the dash of one of them that read "AMC Liverpool England". The roll bars had that squared off look like the Cagiva models. 8)
