Great collection, thanks for posting pics. Do you display them in a cabinet now or will they go back in the cupboard?

Happy birthday Matt. I've had two 21st birthdays, gees, the second one comes around real quick :(
Maybe you should tell the oldies you wanted a Full Size Moke. Maybe it's still coming :D

Nice Moke, it is one of the Vitesse models, there are about 12 in the set, including a nice blue Aussie californian. If you have a look underneath it is also four wheel drive :roll:
They were made by an English company that went belly up but a Chinese company has resumed production but the models are the same just different colours.
