MINI ROADSTER

In stock with us at RFH Classics we have this absolute head turner of a 1993 (K) Moke finished in Sunflower Yellow with Silver interior trim that has been the subject of an extensive body restoration and repaint. This Moke was originally supplied new in Manila where it was used for tourists on the island. The car was brought back to the UK around six years ago where its previous owner undertook the recommissioning and what a lovely little car this is now, perfect for the summer. Currently belts are fitted to the front seats but with the addition of rear belts it would be great fun for the children to enjoy along too. This very fine example is in outstanding condition and has the later seats, polished alloy wheels and the benefit of new total wet weather equipment.

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 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. Mokes were first built at the Morris factory in Oxford before production moved to BMC's Longbridge, Birmingham plant, and eventually overseas. 14,500 Mokes were produced in the UK between 1964 and 1968, 26,000 in Australia between 1966 and 1981 and 10,000 in Portugal between 1980 and 1993 when production of the Moke ended. In 1990, British Leyland (by then called Rover Group) sold the ""Moke"" name to Cagiva. Production continued in Portugal until 1993 when Cagiva transferred the tooling to their factory in Italy with the intention of restarting production in 1995 which they never did. Since Cagiva did not have any rights to the "Mini" name the 1,500 cars they built were sold simply as "Mokes".
