    There used to be a lot of Mokes for rent in Barbados. They were the preferred holiday ride.

    Mini Moke the Island car. A lot of Islands in the Mediterranean and elsewhere too use them as taxi, luggage transport, rent, etc.
    Wonderful car

    They were used in the TV series "The Prisoner" which starred Patrick McGoohan. They were used as taxis in the village.

    I thought this was a King car (came as a kit in the 1950's). This is more fascinating.

      King Midget from Midget Motors in Ohio, they seem to be more common here than the Moke.

    nice to see two Mokes together i am guessing the other is Australian, i have one of the last made in 1981 came from a car hire place in Cairns, Queensland. the other mini i have is a pickup which i put a auto gearbox in hwy at 60 your are doing 5400 rpm, both are right hand drive and living in the midwest of Canada turn lots of heads.

      The are both 1967 Austin Mokes but the red one has had many modifications which makes it look newer.

    Always reminded me of a pallett with wheels.No doubt good fun but i wouldn't want to be in a crash whilst driving one!

    Come on Oz, get your finger out and start production of the Moke again. They were the best.
