Mini Moke Australian RHD Fully Restored 1973 The first of our two beautiful Mokes on offer is this 1971 Leyland Australia so original Right Hand Drive version. Imported in 1981 it has had one registered keeper since and today as you can see is in exceptional condition. Since arriving on these shores when it was fully restored it has been constantly kept in top condition since. Spending most of its time garaged with very little use. Its MOT history shows that between July 2007 and March 2015 it was not MOTd for road use and when tested in 2015 it had only covered another 1291 miles at 65696. Now 2 years further on it still only has 65911 on the clock! Having recently had new tyres all round due to the old ones needing replacement due to age there will be a new MOT carried out prior to the auction. The body work is excellent and rust free with the paint still looking fresh as said there are new tyres all round and these are mounted on very good condition alloy wheels. The engine is excellent starting easily and running very well. With the reduced weight of these Mokes the 988cc engine is more than enough to give a spirited performance if required with the gearbox helping to give a good spread of power. Clutch operation is smooth and the rest of the mechanics are very good. Interior is spartan and in very good condition complete with proper seat belts on all the seats. There is a heater fitted but untested and not really seeing any point to it? The car does have a hood frame with it but there is no fabric cover. It does however have the clear side mounted wind deflectors to keep the breeze of you. In the paper work is a letter from the Mini Moke Owners Club confirming that this is a genuine Leyland Australia Moke and it was manufactured in 1971. There is also a bill from 2015 for 546.32 this covers the new side deflectors and the various other parts required to fit it. Now ultracollectable and rare in this condition this Moke would grace any collectors collection or enthusiast garage.
