I would like to see:
1.) A photograph of what they're selling in the flesh instead of some 3D solid model rendering......
2.) An actual car on the road registered someplace other than the USA where some folks could register a cash register as a motor vehicle...
3.) A listing of where they have actually sold one of these things.....
But, I suppose it's all good... can't do anything but raise the value of a real Moke... Not that I'm in the mood to move mine along or anything.

This was the previous Chinese Moke I think as imported by Minisport into UK a few years back?

....inscrutable !!! surprised its not called the nini-noke...?!..its quaint though..most mini fans would smile at seeing one... cant see how the chinks get away with using the name ?! spose its a bit like mg ? but then they are built here....it will all end in tears !!! within 20 years i reckon....

I think it's great that, when the Moke (and many other British cars) are no longer profitable or able to be produced in Europe, someone has done the enormous groundwork to have this icon re-produced, albeit in China. One has to admit that they are building a "Moke", of course modernized in several ways, but it's NOT a Bini (which, like a new Beetle or new Fiat 500, is reproduced in a -just sort-of looks like the original).

I'm wondering what the engine is. They say 993cc 4cyl DOHC NA

....i like it made me smile..... !!! one day manufacturing industry will be virtually non existent in the uk... it will all be service industries etc...might sound to much but look how this sector has shrunk in 25 years...and then look at what we were making up to say 65 !!!...its all pants !!!...

Mini sport import these as the kit cars and few other do aswell

The ones Minisport were importing were the old model. These new ones will not be available as kits, only built up. They won't share any mechanical or body components with actual Mokes.

Do you have Chery cars in the UK? They've been coming into Australia for a year or two.
