I know very little about mokes and had these photos sent to me from my uncle of someones backyard near to him.

I dont have plate numbers or anything, so are people able to tell me what they are, production date approx etc from the following pictures. If they should be Gal (some look it to me) etc etc etc

Thanks for the help

None appear to be galvanised.
Mokes 1 to 3 look to be around 73 to 76 era.
Moke 4 is a little wheeler around 68.
Moke number 3 has rare low back seat frames and a rare pickup type hardtop.

Realised I left a couple of pics out so fixed that up.

Ok so no.4 is a speacial one and the others are just run-of-the-mill mokes.

I thought a couple of them may have been gal because it looks greyish where the paint has come off (could be primer or spray-can touvh up i supppose). just hoping they may have been as would be a bit less rusty than some of the others.

Thanks for the help everyone.

Just a small clue if it does not have a removable grille, it is NOT a Gal shell
I am not saying if it has a removable grille it is Gal it is just an elimination step

hard to say, mokes are deceptively/stupidly priced at the very least id take the top green one and the little wheeler, offer $500 see what happens?

Where does your uncle live? Country Victoria?

I would definitely be saving moke number four.

It even has the correct reflectors which is a bonus.


The little wheelers were rotodipped, which helps them stick around a little longer.

At the end of the day, they're all going to need a new floor, or at least along the edges of the floor. Not too difficult of a job in all honesty.
The battery box on all them will be stuffed too, just varying degrees of stuffed.

Regardless of condition, I would get the 66.
