After yesterday’s Nuffield Gutty, here’s another vehicle from the Nuffield group that might have substituted for the Land Rover in some roles with the British military - the Mini Moke. The Moke was originally designed with military use in mind but didn’t find favour with the Army because of its limited ground clearance and lack of four-wheel drive. But it was successful as a leisure vehicle. Snapped at the weekend at the Practical Classics resto show.

@davidwilkins The RAAF used them in Australia, and I have no doubt our army probably did as well.

@vwdasher @davidwilkins The Twini Moke was an interesting experiment
