Thread: VERY SWB SER3 with a timber hardtop

G'day LandyAndy


Cool looking Moke they used to make a ute version with a fibreglass ute hardtop, and a tray, neat looking vehicle, the tray overhung the rear body about 12 inches, they would be rare now.


cheers

The timberwork in the roof and tray was first class.Looked a million bucks,the phone pic doesnt do it justice!! Was all polished Jarrah.

Not as rare as you might think. I have a couple. There's one on carsales that isn't selling and I'm always spotting them about the place. I have a photo of one in WA which the owner hinged the back and put a hydraulic ram at the front converting it into a tipper.

Oh, and most were a soft top. The hardtop was after market.

I used to work on a catamaran hire at one of the local beaches when I was a teenager ... they had a Moke Californian as the run around ... 1275cc ... woooo hoooo ... did it get along or what!

Really fun cars to drive .... in summer

And if i'm not mistaken somewhere in the dim and distant past a 4x4 moke was done as the american army (what a surprise) were looking at an all terrain vehicle that was small and light.. so they made a 4x4 version.. it wasnt very succesfull as it got hung up on pebbles only in america...

If i also remember the drivetrain appeared in a 4x4 cooper... and used for rallying.. no centre diff used to wind it up quite nicely and provide a boot out of the corners...
