Special Interest Mokes

After leaving Bridsville and heading east on the 2011 Outback Icons trip we came across this 'BMW Moke' heading the other way as part of a World Record Attempt to pedal an electric bike, which is a contradiction, the 1600km to Birdsville.

Another interesting Moke we came across on the Outback Icons Touur in 2011 was this Australian built, and it would appear registered, Moke that is factory left hand drive. Many factory lefthand drive Mokes were produced in Australia but not too many stayed.

An iconic Moke for many people has been the promotional Moke customised to look like a Prime mover complete with tri-axle trailer parked in front of the Shell service station in Port Wakefield, South Australia. Having been missing for some years now it re-appeared for sale on eBay and Mavro took some pictures of the details.

This ex competition Moke in the US has been restored to his competiton specs and was recently sold on the www.wirewheels.com website with an asking price of around US$8,900.
