This Moke was caught in the Black Saturday bush fires that went through Flowerdale in 2009 and it was intended at the time these photos were taken for the Moke to become a restoration project however those who know Joff were not surprised it was a featured garden ornament until 2014. The Moke now has a new home in Wallan as a donor vehcile for another project so it will soon cease to exist in its rather unique form and most likely will end up in the local tip I would expect.

Much of the body and the structurally important bits of the body were severely damaged in the heat along one side and for this reason a restoration of this vehicle is really out of the question and there is not much that wasn't ravaged by the fire.

The Moke was purchased along with another wreck and some bits were recovered from this Moke before it was cut up scrapped around 2014
