Dr Hose Ramos Horta was the public face in exile and key player in the independence of Timor-Leste and once returned to his home country was seen tootling around in his blue Moke in the media, even surviving an assassination attempt near his Moke I believe. I have shared a few emails with Mr Horta who told me the Moke was purchased by a friend of his in Adelaide and fixed up and sent over to Timor-Leste. Showing his credentials as a true Moke owner, he was playing the sympathy card looking for cheap parts for a 'poor Moke owner'.  Photos to come.

Australian Rules Football and footy show media stalwart, Lou Richards was also know in Moke circles for having a Moke at his house in Portsea. Some years after his death the property came up for sale and in the real estate photos a brief glimpse of the Moke in the carport. Reportedly restored for $14,000 back in the late 80's or early 90's, the general gossip around the Moke club was it was very expensive, for the time, and not that well done.

Cherylee Harris is TV presenter and media person in South Australia who in her early life managed to win a Moke in a beauty contest in the 80's according to a small titbit I found in an old newspaper article. I did contact her by email some time ago but she wasn't able to provide any images of the Moke and I got the impression she did have it for very long, the reply was polite but short, obviously he Moke didn't rate highly for her.
