A mini with no bumpers or a Moke with no bumpers.

(and yes this is a serious question)

I reckon the Moke is shorter, but there won't be much in it.

I have an L shaped garage. Two minis over to the side in the shorter flat bit of the "L" with daily car behind them and tools/storage/workbench in the longer straight part of the "L" (if that makes sense)

Anyway, i have my new project which (at the moment) has no bumpers (roundnose) and so i moved my workbench around and fit it into the L bit but nose to tail nose to tail the daily ONLY just fits into the garage. Like with half an inch to spare.

SO... i was thinking, that if the Moke was shorter without bumpers, I would remove the bumpers and put the moke at the end and put the project at the side. I just dont necessarily want to pull of the bumpers to find it doesnt fit any better...........

I have tried to measure them but its hard to accurately measure. I just didnt know if anyone knew.....

:wink:

13" Wheel Moke - no bumpers approximately 2 825.22 mm long
Round Nose Mini - no bumpers approximately 2 968.66 mm long

I stand corrected.

On overall lengths, including bumpers, the Moke wins out :wink:

No, it just makes it a real BITCH to get at the bolts for the front bar.

The headlights stick out past the grille so you'd have to take them out.
