moke

A special 'jeep' version of the British car the Mini. Open topped with a square body, used in the 60's TV series 'The Prisoner' . Kit build versions are also known as the 'Scamp'. Although they looked cool and like a 4x4 , on the body is differnt from the original Mini, so the chassis is only 2 wheel drive, 10" wheels and the same suspension height making it not very good at being off-road...

'My dads moke looks cool, but it cant go off road, heck! it struggles with small bumps in the road let alone cross country! lol'
