What seats are you going for,

These are the seats, the rears are all certified and blue plated.
The fronts have been made to give at much support as possible but to also look as stock as possible, no point giving any clues to people!


They have turned out really nice and I'm happy with them.

oh boy, you gunna have fun.

Perfect vehicle for newspaper deliveries with 220 hp under the hood,

570 kg max, 220 hp, if you got the traction it would be interesting up to a 100 kp[h, now on a hill climb ......... the F6 or any RWD wouldn't do the first corner.

I haven't seen Mick on this thread yet, as we all know "he misses his Moke"

Great looking Moke there IsVicThere. Its going to be something special when finished.

Here is mine. Much more standard condition. Nearly ready to get some plates on it again.

I remember when Mokes were a bit more common that there was fuel cap sharing system.
Someone lost a fuel cap and found it on someones elses Moke and so on.
I also remember as a kid riding in the back being asked to look inside the fuel tank to see how much petrol was left with the fuel guage showing empty.
I would say to mum, about a teaspoon full left in the bottom of the tank.
And that would be enough to get us up to end of the street to get the Sunday paper and back home.
They handle like if they are on rails.
When I was a bit older at tech my so called mates would pick up my Moke and move it to another spot in the car park,or sometimes lean it up against a light post with the front nose down and the rear end up in the air.
Do you think the bastards to show themselves to get it down!!!!!
Off road driving no problem, sit a mate on each mud guard to give the front end traction and no problem..........or drive up in reverse.
The fun we had.

Great looking Moke IsVicThere. I miss mine which I built with help from my young daughter, & even younger son back in 1990/91. Lots of problems with Qld transport as it had a Stainless Steel body, which necessitated a separate steel chassis linking the subframes which made it weigh a ton & reduced ground clearance to about 5 inches. Went well with a 1275 Copper S donk though. A couple of pics:

That's an export moke isn't it?
Worth a few bob if it is, very nice.
Does it have the fuel filler on the side rather than the top?
