I'd say the top 3 people that would buy one would be:
1)- Diehard Moke fans that JUST HAVE TO HAVE IT because it's a Moke (either legally or not)
2)- People with too much money
3)-People that want a ev-Moke golf cart
Other than that they cost between $22K-$33K, still require a driver's license, registration and insurance, and can only be driven in areas that have speed zones 35mph and under.
To each their own though. But I can think of a lot of better things to spend that kind of money on.
Simple recipe for Excitement: Take 1 Classic Mini. Throw in 1590cc's of engine. Add 5 gears. A dash of 94 octane. A sprinkle of style inside and out. Toss in 1 MadMan and finally heat tires and pavement to taste. Recipe produces 1 Mini VTEC conversion and full satisfaction. Motor on!

I think the Astons were a film studio invention...

thanks for asking Big Al. I'm right on the water, but bulk headed which is on the bay side. The water rose about one foot above the bulk head, about a seven to eight foot surge above the high tide mark. We watch the water push into the great peconic bay all day by the wind and tide. No minis damaged. Just one tree down. I was working on the house, putting on a flat roof, at the time and had three windows out and the siding off. Luckily we didn't get any rain.

Yeah Abel, I always get a kick out of Minis/Mokes in James Bond Movies. I was recently watching a 50 years of Bond show and they showed many of the cars that have been in the movies being made at the ?"Pinewood" ? studios. (Not sure of studio name), but, in seeing the many creations, not one single moke was shown. I wonder if the studio hung on to them?
Do any of you UK Mini Fans know of the studio and ultimately the fate of the Mokes and other Minisused in the films?
I have occasionally been known to startle loved ones while watching films, see a Mini, and blurt out, "Mini!". Oh well, such is the life of a Mini Nut.
Best,
MSH

Just goes to confirm that the writer ,Ian Fleming knew his cars by featuring two of the most popular cars in the world- An Aston Martin & a Mini Moke-
And along those lines, l have a 1996 SPI Jap Spec mini on the railway coming from Vancouver BC & when booking it with the agent, she insisted that it was an Aston Martin, even when l told her the insurable value would be fine at $10K, she still called it an Aston Martin and remarked that her book stated they were longer than 10 feet-So, l just gave up and sure enough the paper work that came with the car read as an "ASTON MARTIN"- I wish
BIG AL-
Be patient Al, and wait for delivery. You never know.... "Big Al, The Aston Mover" has a nice ring to it, no?
.
"Hang on a minute lads....I've got a great idea."

There is also one in "The Spy Who Loved Me" which gets driven into the dock inside the oil tanker.

Hello,
I was just watching Sean Connery's "You Only Live Twice" and caught sight of a nice Mini Moke in a few sequences. It is a yellow one that is "parked" inside the volcano of the head of Spectre when the gang of ninjas are attacking the base. I just thought some of the Moke lover's in here might like to know/see that. I tried to find the movie online but found instead some images of the car itself,
cheers,
Abel
PS: somebody told me some time ago that another Moke appears on "Live and Let Die"....
