Guest catweazle (Banned Member) Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 In the 70s in battersea RUNAMOKE was the company specialising in Mokes,it was close to RR sevices.Who knows what the RR stands for,Dont forget the four wheel drive prototype.We built one at Metropolitan water board ran on gas for tunnel work. Theres one hanging in the Haines Musuem i think Burley Boy has a picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevpol Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 Thanks CW, I think that was taken in mid to late 80's, as to where? I cant remember :???. I do know I photographed one at Great Warbirds, late 80's, if it was the same one? Mark :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest catweazle (Banned Member) Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Rumoured to of been used on carrier decks,never seen any evidence tho.I would think it was proberbly the only one.not the sort of thing people say,i know lets make a military moke.Today its different people look for the most unusual things as most else has been done.What about the Citreon 2cv the marines had now that was odd.

snowtracdave Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 What about the Citreon 2cv the marines had now that was odd. One of the ideas from Major John Chatfield - the man behind the development of the Snow Trac for RMC use . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runamoke exported lots to Australia,when they became unavailable here they became desirable,so they imported lots of them back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark :cool: This Moke was featured in Mini World in June 1998 its a modified civvy Moke which the owner modified with bits of British Army surplus kit if anyone wants a scan of the orignal article let me know and I'll scan it. The Military Moke is featured in Mini Magazine April 1997 same as above if anyone wants scan let me know. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goanna Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Here's a genuine Australian army Moke . Last Saturday at the Melbourne ANZAC day march .. Don't think the roll bar is a standard fitting . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevpol Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Here's a genuine Australian army Moke . Last Saturday at the Melbourne ANZAC day march .. Don't think the roll bar is a standard fitting . nice!!!!!!. If I remember correctly, in a issue of Wheels and Tracks there was a article on Military Mokes, including piccys of RAAF Police dog carriers, basically 2 cages on the back deck replacing the rear seats, is there any of them preserved down under?

goanna Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I'm old enough to remember them being used on the larger army bases here. They were runabouts , taking people from A to B on the base . Leyland here ( or BMC or whatever it was ) built a prototype small 4X4 loosely based on the Moke . In the 70's Leyland also attempted to break into the large saloon car market with a large car called the P76 ..it was a flop ..but it wasnt a bad car ...it just looked very ugly. There is a P76 club here that is a sort of joke among car enthusiasts. The RAAF had some vehicles of their own peculiar need. Some of the BMC stuff here was rebadged ..I think we got Morris instead ofAustin in some cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynx42 Rick Cove Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 There was one at Corowa this year. This photo was taken at the school where we put on a display for 400 kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
