Moke Club Magazine Articles

I have been a member of the Mini Moke Club since 1992. In 2023, membership was 560 worldwide with some 262 Mokes on the Club's database. An internet site listing numbers of classic cars in the UK in 2022 has 114 No Mokes with road tax and a further 62 No with SORN (off road notices). This would include all types of Moke in the UK.

Here's a link to the club's website - http://www.mokeclub.org/

Below are articles that I have had published over the years.

An article that I submitted in April 1998 after a trip to the Seychelles where we hired a Moke :

Left : The Moke that we hired in the Seychelles in February 1998. With a couple (Jim and Pat) that we had met during a small boat cruise amongst the islands, we toured the main island Mahe four up.

Earlier in 1988, we had visited the island with our children and had hired a Moke. These were in poor condition but the island was not too crowded then before the days of mass tourism !

Later in 2018, we visited the islands again and again hired a Moke (this took some finding on the internet) - see another magazine article below.

I wonder if the present day electric Mokes have reached the islands yet.

Below : An Club magazine article of September 2020 by editor Roy Scott when he and his wife Bev visited Dorset and met up with myself and Peter & Sue Jones (of Weymouth). Peter Jones was the Club member who spotted my Moke in Weymouth and encouraged me to join the Moke Club in 1995. [Moking Sept 2020 Issue 173 - p6 -7]
