Look what I just bought

[Daley Down Under]

I know the Spire is nearly road legal, but had to have this.  Been looking for a Moke to run around in (as they have 4 seats for the family).  This one is 90% restored and has 1098cc Cooper motor with 48 Weber, mild cam and sports exhaust.  All the rust is cut out and new paintwork is fantastic.  Needs a few hours in the garage to finish, then another registration process as I have to fit seat belts.  Not sure about the wheels but can always sell on and get a set of Minilites and R888s.

  Looks like a real eye-catcher.. Wheels as you said need to go. Not in keeping with the old Moke..

I got a big box of bits too - just need to work out which ones go where.  Here's a pic of the engine bay - someone has been busy

Wow they have been busy either that or they had a bulk supply of red paint  Again very neat and tidy. Look forward to seeing your final touches on the 'Moke'..

Very nice Adrian, should be a lot of fun. Wheels have to go though.

PS. Hope you dont mind I edited your post to show pics.

Nice buy, you are gonna have some fun

I built a AEM Scout (later version of it )in the early 90's with a bit of a hairy lump in it - cornered like it was on rails

Enjoy

Pete - yep should be fun.  Also get the feeling it should handbrake turn quite well.

That is one of the cars I have always wanted.

I've always wanted one too - ever since I built my first Mini in the early 80s.  Now a member of the Moke Forum in Oz.  There are loads here - I suppose as a result of 26000 of them being assembled under licence in New South Wales from 66 to 81.

Col - I'm sure I could too.  Going to see how the 1100 motor goes first.  I may be in touch for advice
