Looking forward to the beach party in summer...

For one point, please respond and identify this car and its base.

Looks like a Willys and a Moke had a little baby

Wendax · February 22, 2012, 04:41:23 PM

No Willys involved

It has the shape of Mini Moke but Citroen 2CV wheels.

Maybe a prototype Mehari?

You are close to the base car!

is it a 'Baby-Brousse'?

Wendax · February 22, 2012, 04:55:20 PM

Neither a prototype Méhari nor a Baby-Brousse

No, it is a private one-off with a very straightforward name

chapel · February 22, 2012, 05:05:30 PM

Ami based?
is it a Yagan?

Wendax · February 22, 2012, 05:11:05 PM

Yes, it is Citroen Ami based. What would be the first name that comes to your mind when you see this car? (Already mentioned)

fgsavoia · February 22, 2012, 05:22:57 PM

Moke?

Moke?

Yes, that's it, a private one-off called Moke, based on a Citroen Ami 6.

One point for fgsavoia. Bad luck, chapel.

I wonder: is that name legal? Given that BMC probably registered "Mini Moke" and "Moke".

Not if they tried marketing it as that in the UK I don't suppose, no!

Wendax · February 25, 2012, 03:22:58 PM

This car was never intended to be marketed, just a personal one-off without economic interests.

...which is why the builder could get away with naming it 'Moke'..

Djetset · April 26, 2020, 10:32:48 AM

Does anyone have any idea who built this one-off 'Moke' special please? Thanks.

Wendax · April 27, 2020, 01:50:03 AM

Unfortunately not. I took those pictures in 1988 and haven't seen the car ever since.
