  • Jeff's Mini Moke is awesome. He thrashed it at the Driveway Austin, and took me for a ride.

    We owned one of these little suckers for 10 years. Never let us down, no rust. Traded it in when child 3 arrived. Ours was a '75 model, slightly wider & larger 13" wheels....

    In Australia, every newsagent had one, the perfect car for delivering paper and magazines, east to throw them out of either side and heaps of space. There used to be a guy in a large (for Australia) country (regional - i don't want to get into trouble here) town called Toowoomba, I think he made custom refrigeration. Anyhow, he used to get rusted out "tubs" remove the compliance plate and build a complete new 316 stainless tub around the compliance plate. I remember seeing all sorts of fun mokes, shortened ones, long ones, 6 wheelers, etc, I am pretty sure it was the same guy who made them.
    About half of the original mokes were made in Australia
    They are strong due to the box section monocoque tub.
    The perfect car for honeycomb aluminium or carbon fibre "tub" construction.
    They are always noisy, the gearbox is in the sump (same as a standard classic mini), so thin oil which did not lend itself to quiet operation. Straight cut gears would be more suitable for this arrangement but as shown noisier. It looks like it is still a standard H pattern, synchro?
    The early Mokes till about 1973 used a type of universal joint as the inner joint on the drive shaft, these were also noisy, after 1973 they changed to CV joints.
    The later Australian ones were fitted with 13 inch wheels, much better.

    Looking forward to a Meg and mini update video.
    Any chance of seeing what the track times some of the cars in The video were doing?
    Been liking the vids...hope it gets back to being fun for you. Sometimes a little break is good for the soul.

    Most fun car I have ever driven.
    I do not understand why no manufacturer picked up this model and made it into a basic electric car.
    Just a car on a battery. No fancy crap.
    Although a hard top and fixed doors should be an option.
