Description
This is how Klassiker magazine describes the car in issue 9, 2022:
In Sweden, the Mini Moke was never in BMC's model range, but three cars were sold new here. At least one and maybe a few more were imported but never registered. This Moken left the factory on September 27, 1966, intended for the Swedish market. There is little factual information to lean on about Moken's history. What you can see with your eyes is that this is a car that has never been in traffic and has instead been left standing - probably it has almost always been well-stored considering the condition.
On the headlights are the decals that were fitted to BMC cars delivered before the right-hand traffic diversion. "Not to be removed before September 3, 1967," says the right-hand asymmetric headlights. A date came and went for this car with no reason to remove the stickers

Facts about the model
Mini Moke var tänkt som ett fordon för militärt bruk men den brittiska militären nobbade bilen efter att ha testat den. Kanske var projektet för långt gånget för det blev en civil version av bara farten. BMC startade tillverkningen 1964. Moke var extremt spartansk, endast en vindrutetorkare var standard, en andra extrautrustning. Passagerarstol och baksäte fanns också bland de få tillvalen. Mini Moke såldes både som Austin och Morris men båda versionerna tillverkades i Austinfabriken i Longbridge. Även i BMC:s sammansättningsfabrik i Sydafrika och dåvarande Rhodesia sattes Mini Moke samman.
Mellan 1964 och 1968 tillverkades bara 14 518 exemplar i England och 90 procent av dem gick på export. I Australien startade tillverkningen 1966 där Moke byggdes fram till 1981, då hade redan produktionen kommit i gång i Portugal där modellen tillverkades fram till 1993. Trots ett varmare mer passande klimat i de länderna så fortsatte försäljningen att vara blygsam. I Australien tillverkades 26 142 bilar och i Portugal 10060 exemplar.
