The Mini Moke makes its comeback

It wouldn't be entirely fair to put the Mini Moke into the 'so bad it's good' category, but the fact remains, the Moke wasn't that great. And yet, despite its tepid performance, questionable off-road ability and tendency to rust, it was a runaway success.

Let's face it, the Mini Moke remains one of the coolest cars ever created.

Which is why we're ever so slightly excited about the news that the Moke is to return. It has taken every last drop of willpower not to greet the news with an Austin Powers style "yeah, baby".

Moke International is an Australian company which, deciding that the Moke was "too cool to die", set about bringing it back from the dead. And given that 26,000 Mokes were made by BMC (British Motor Corporation) Australia, it seems rather fitting that the car is being reborn 'Down Under'.
