No sticky that I know of

Generally people just post numbers, and morris 1100 deciphers them for you :)

Alternatively, do what I do:

Stick the first few digits of your engine number into google and see what comes up.


There's also this list:
http://www.minimania.com/MM/Engine___Id ... PDATED.htm

But it only has the 850cc moke engine listed - You might not have a moke 1275, so it's worth a check anyway

If all else fails, put it on the forum, someone will know

It's got the ugly export lights on the front, rear tank, big engine, drums and all the other Export 'bells and whistles'

It's either genuine export, or someone went to a lot of effort to rape and pillage and export for the gear to put on yours.

At the end of the day, a big wheeler is a big wheeler.
Only difference is what you bolt onto it.

Just post the first bit of the number on the compliance plate or inner guard.
If it is an export Moke it should be something like YJBAB13R ***
The engine number should be 1204 ****

Can't really hurt putting all the details up really..

But if you're worried just leave off the last 2 digits of the body number on the compliance plate.

If you look at the ADR's, you can get a list off the net to work out what your car does/doesn't have to have

In regards to lap belts or lap sash, high or low backs, whether or not you need a heater (to have a demister) etc

Someone who knows exports would be able to tell you all this, but I only know good mokes (read: Morris Mokes ;) )

The original motor should have ports in the front of the cylinder head for air injection. (little screwed in plugs next to the spark plugs)
The yanks wanted the full emissions gear that we never got till later.
