Or is it the Moke Californian manufactured from 1978 onwards? 1275cc with disks or 998cc with drums? Or is it just a 1975 Moke with some bits off a later Californian? (not that later 998cc Californians were anything much special) $5500 seems rather optomistic to me? >> FOR SALE: >> 1975 Mini Moke Californian.

As far as I'm aware (according to what the guy who sold it to me said and the rego papers) it's a Moke Californian 1975. It's bright yellow in color. > Or is it the Moke Californian manufactured from 1978 onwards? 1275cc > with disks or 998cc with drums?

I paid $5000 for it 6 months ago and have spent in excess of $1500 on it to replace bits such as shocks, steering arms, flushing the radiator, tyres, servicing etc. I'm open to negotiate if I'm way off the mark - that's what I'd hoped this group of experts would be able to help me on!

A handful of stickers, front bumper, possibly the seats and a rol bar are all that distinguish a 1975 standard Moke from an early 998 Californian. As long as it's not a 1977, I don't think it really matters much to anyone if it was labelled "Californian" when it left the factory. > I paid $5000 for it 6 months ago and have spent in excess of $1500 on it to > replace bits such as shocks, steering arms, flushing the radiator, tyres, > servicing etc. > I'm open to negotiate if I'm way off the mark - that's what I'd hoped this > group of experts would be able to help me on! To be honest, it's now 8 years since I broke my moke up for parts, so I'm a little out of touch with prices, but $5k seems an awful lot. If memory serves isn't it currently 3AusD to 1UKP. ?2000 for a good condition moke? It would be worth importing it over here :D I have a mate who spent 3000 on a UK moke rotbox because he wanted it. Then he has to do it up!! Admittedly, it does have the rarity factor - ie no roll bar or seatbelt mounting points.

With 1275 motors and boxes and disk brakes worth more here than in the UK it didn't make sense to be shipping those parts, but the rest of the car wasn't worth much at all here. SKYRACER. I tried to reply to your email but it bounced back saying "The following addresses had permanent fatal errors" Contact me again off the list and I'll send you the photo's I took of it.
