Description
The Mini Moke is a vehicle based on the Mini and designed for the British Motor Corporation (BMC) by Sir Alec Issigonis. The name comes from "Mini"— the car with which the Moke shares many parts — and "Moke", which is an archaic dialect term for "working donkey".
The initial design was a prototype for a light military vehicle in the style of the American Jeep, but its small wheels and low ground clearance made it impractical as an off-road vehicle. It was subsequently offered in a civilian version as a low-cost, easily maintained utility vehicle. The Moke finally achieved success as a beach buggy — becoming a popular 'cult' vehicle in the Seychelles, Australia, the United States and many tropical resorts in the Caribbean. The original Moke used identical engine, transmission and suspension parts to the basic Mini.

Moi, je préfère la jaune pour loger tous mes sacs de golf ! Sauf s'il pleut.... Charmant tableau synonyme de riches vacances sous les tropiques ! Belle réalisation aussi !
Superb modeling and excellent choice of colours!
They look better uncovered, more Jeep like. Have you ever thought about modelling one of those 6 wheel amphibious cars like Amphicat from the same era, like in the American TV series the 'Banana Splits'.
I have fond childhood memories of seeing a few of these at Butlins in Clacton in the early 70's. A failed military vehicle maybe, but these along with the Bond Bug sum up the 'fun' side of motoring from that time that we don't see so much of these days. Excellent model work my friend :)
Beautiful model. I rented Mokes on the Canary islands whenever available. Really fun to drive.
