The Appeal
Born out of a failed military vehicle project, the Mini Moke quickly found a niche as a fun, quirky beach car, gaining a cult following in the process. Matching the conventional Mini's go-kart-like handling, the open-topped, door-less Moke really was like driving a go-kart on the road.
This 1965 example benefits from a recent painstaking restoration, completed just 515 miles ago. While it left the factory with a diminutive 848 cc this Moke now boasts vastly superior performance, thanks from an engine upgrade to 1389 cc.
