Looks like it would make the ultimate beach machine and has to be a lot more reliable than the older ones. Sign me up.

I think it looks awsome. It would be great to see MINI roll this car out. If they do create this car, I would probably get one.

I'd LOVE to see them produce the new MINI Moke! What a great concept!

As a long time Jeeper, and a would-be MINI enthusiast, I am disturbed by the Moke. It makes me feel like everything I know is wrong. I am now both confused and insecure.

Go back up the page and look at the pictures. It’s an open body set on the Mini chassis. It’s like and I’m using this as a very loose example the old VW’s that had the dune buggy bodies.

Unfortunately, as much as I would like to claim it, it is not mine. It belongs to my friend, Quicksilver, who posts here from time to time. He purchased it from Don at Mini Mania at the last Mini Mania open house and has spent the past several months restoring it. He did an amazing job on it and I can't even tell you how much better it looks in person.
