OK, so it's not very fast and nobody's heard of it but it's a two seater, it's turnkey and it's made in Italy.

That means evo will doubtless be arranging a trip to the factory to test it.

May as well get a proper Moke, although you'll need to go to Australia to pick it up as that the only place they still make 'em I think.

I thought they were still making them in Spain or Portugal. Could be mistaken.

...once you've deciphered it:

I wanted to create this site, on the most summery of the by-products of Mini, to inform the guests and the passionate persons of this small automobile in the look so attractive. Queen of the edges of beach, and especially renters out of motorcars of islands, this small toy allows to stroll hair in the wind while taking the most put off roads. Who'd have been able to imagine during his creation that a military vehicle would so become a vehicle of leisure activities. It has been on on one year since I bought my Mini Moke of 1988 of Portuguese origin, its restoration is almost complete to this day. Still some modifications and we here is loans to face the scorching heat of the summer.

Yertis,
Do you know if you can still buy new Mokes. Is it my hangover that has led me to belief that they were still building them in Spain?

I thought they were still actually made new in Maccau maybe a PHer in HK can confirm but there always seems to be loads of them about on the Island for the GP.
