Brought this for my kids 18mths, 4 & 7 and dad of course..

Kids love it wife 50/50 ..

needs a little work but its solid.

The wheels are borrowed as the ones on it had snow tyres so not safe on the motorway.

Spent most of the day taking the kids and the neighbors kids for rides

Its so much fun, the sun even came out..

Standard UK Moke. The covers are optional.

Thanks, yes pretty happy and sad as it came from a estate sale of a Mini friend.

Its actually a South African CKD car. Its done about 40,000 miles (UK car in all respects)

I have taken the mirrors off it so i can get the glass repaired but it's otherwise standard.

As for justification, I will need to sell one of my cars, most likely my 64 Cooper but the kids are happy which means they will come to the MIni shows etc so it worth it.

I am sure it brings the sun out

Great find!!

The wipes and front reflectors gave it away as African CKD. It looks very original and very tidy.

You will enjoy it, Mokes are a complete hoot to drive and attract attention like nothing else. 8)

Looks fantastic, I've developed a recent love for little wheelers, so yours has me jealous :)

Should be great fun come summer!

Seriously? Selling a '64 Cooper? That must be like cutting off a leg!

You've seen my moke?

Well, it's for sale if someone wants it, but i'm not in a hurry.

Wish it was an english one though!
