Car Forum / MINI / May 2004FS: Early Moke
Hi all Just had someone on the phone who wants to sell his Moke. It is an early British built car. He says it was registered 01/06/63, but I thought production didn't start until 1964! So it is very early on that basis! It is not on the road, but is said to be in sound condition..... eminently restorable!!! Beyond that, I know nothing so don't bother asking me questions :-) Car is located in Norwich, Norfolk, England.

Most likely is not a Moke at all but a kit that has taken on the identity of an early Mini (a very common occurrence!)

It has an 'A' registration which could have been applied as an 'unknown year of manufacture'. But the document states 01/06/63 apparently. Your second suggestion would still require the original Moke to have been registered in 63 though, wouldn't it? The plot thickens! I would have liked to take a look at the car, but it would be wasting the guys time since I have no intentions of buying. And that would be unfair. The pre-production idea crossed my mind too, but as you say, a bit unlikely. Some years ago, my colleague looked at an unregistered Moke that had been used on an estate since the 60's. Didn't buy that one either!

Many early mokes made it into the army and navy and could have been regsitered in odd ways so it could be genuine. jono SignatureBarspeed Mini`s - Devoted to the Classic Mini "Persisto Transverbero Adversum" Email - barspeed@hotmail.com The Rover Mini Se7en Register - http://www.geocities.com/minise7en2001/ Barspeed Mini`s - http://barspeed.topcities.com Barspeed Mini`s Group - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/barspeed Barspeed Motor Album - http://barspeed1.topcities.com If you have received this email in error please click below. barspeed@hotmail.com > I haven't seen it so I can't add much more info.

I have seen this a few times before, the owner calls it a Moke but it's a pre-production date and the log book says "Mini Saloon". They frequently turn out to be a kit using a Mini donor but saying that I also know of a genuine Prototype that is registered as a Mini. It all depends on who was typing in the details at DVLC at the time (My two Mokes didn't mention Moke at all on the reg doc) The only way of knowing is see the car in the flesh but I've just blown my cash on a Mk2 Traveller and, as you say, it would be unfair to waste the guys time just looking out of curiosity. Cheers, Dean. > I haven't seen it so I can't add much more info. It has an 'A' registration > which could have been applied as an 'unknown year of manufacture'.
