my personal choise in mokes Richard, if you can find one, is a 76-82 Moke Californian galvanized body. Never rust, 1275 cc engine, disc brakes, 13" wheels & good drivetrain. I sold my last one for $6000.00 AU to a collector in the UK about 2 years ago, and i was sorry to see it go but universal carriers require money & space. Find one of those, paint it green & away you go. There was also a prototype moke built for the british military that had 2 engines , one in front one in back & it was tested but it had no room for military kit so it went no further. Ebay search Moke & you will see dinky airborne military mokes, may as well start small....In darwin there is a very rare 4x4 moke built here in Australia that drove a rear diff off the STD but modified gearbox, one day I hope to copy that. It was locally engineered, if they had worked the bugs out would have made it an extremely viable military light vehicle....
