Hey they sold those things here before the world discovered 13s would fit... :lol:
When I was a kid (OK, `twas eons ago) we used to `water ski' (using surfboard) with a mighty 998 one... :P

The Austin Ant was like a Moke but baised on the Morris/Austin 1100. Look at the wheels, they are 12" 1100 wheels :wink:

Mokes on 10's are the best. Especially on WIDE 10's and lowered substansially to suit.


This is cool too

Couldn't agree more, my 10" wheeled Moke was unreal :wink: Even managed to get it log-booked as an 'Open Sports Car' with CAMS - that's why it has doors :shock:

Moke was built up in 86 / 87. ( Was originally a 1275, rear-tanked Californian). Full Cooper 'S' running gear, 45 DCOE Weber, 649 cam, high-lift rockers etc. adjustable suspension, 10" x 6" steel wheels with slicks. Alloy cage, Light weight subframes and shell (510kg all up). Nick-named the 'Flying Tile' because it wasn't quite a 'Brick'. Vic Hillclimb Championship class champion in 1988, couple of class records as well if I recall correctly. Went like the clappers up to about 80mph, but after that the lack of aerodynamics hindered it's progress.
Car was sold in 1989.

Took me a month to find these pictures...... they were the ones I wanted to show in my previous post...

Moke on WIDE-ASS 10 inch wheels. Those Germans know how go give a car sex appeal.....

And a 2 litre twin cam under the bonnet.... with about 150hp to fry those little 10's with :shock: 8)

That's gotta be one of those Vectra 2.0 or 2.2 litre engines.


Curly: in the first picture of the moke storming up the hill, is that sand on the track, or smoke coming from the front tyres?
