Joff, I think under your Motor Registry code, any vehicle that has been subjected to fire of level ......, is never able to be registered again and is classed as a statutory write of, only good for parts to go on a repairable write off of road worthy car.

However if it hasn't been through the insurance/motor registry process, there would be little difference to it being  a rusted out repairable Moke.  It will all depend on how badly burnt(rusted) it is.

Photos would help.

Cheers

G'day Joff,
              Good to have you back. Any moke for free
is a good moke. But as everyone has said depending
how warped it is from the fire. Alan M in Canada rebuilt
his burnt moke. I think that was an engine fire though
his story is on here somewhere... Nicko?

And Tim rebuilt his after it was burnt, I don't know how badly but it was a rebuild for him, I think.
As Smoken has said any Moke is a good Moke

Unlikely in the forseeable future I'm afraid Ian.

It's a bit like the old goat joke (which can't be repeated on here for those of you who don't understand - sorry)

I mean, you melt one motor ................................  ;D

I have my own cross to bear of course.

You blow up one Green Moke...............................   ;D
