Mini Moke, My name is David J. Alt and I live in Finksburg, Maryland. I just bought a 1965 Austin Moke from London England. Mine is Forest Green, has New 998cc engine, new top, original wheels, no doors, no windows, no heater, and no radio. I drove one 28 years ago on the island of Barbado's as a rental vehicle. They are Neat and Fun to drive. Thanks David J. Alt
Mike: do part of the program as it has been done and call Edd to do a part of the program in England, it would be great from time to time to take Edd to California to exchange tips with Ant. It would be really great, best of both worlds!! Cheers from Brazil!!
There are NO box sections on a Moke, the two side units house the fuel tank and the battery, tool well.. Only UK and Australian Mokes rust, Portuguese ones have galvanised chassis.
Good example of a Moke. Anyway, no need to change the cooling system with anything electrical, just keep the system clean and flush and you can run de car under extreme climates with no problem whatsoever.
D.R.H J.J.H the problem isn't minis back in the day. It's minis now with how bad the traffic is. I have a Morris Minor and it's a nightmare in heavy traffic for overheating
My classic mini racing green with Standard fan works fine with my mg metro 1275 engine and small water pump Pulley and all aluminium 42 mm core radiator in traffic and driving Even in a heat wave It’s fine
I know it is a TV programme, but given Mike has been in the motor trade for many years, but does he really know eff all about mokes ? The white bull bar and sunraysia wheels have to be factory standard, otherwise he would reduce the value. I don't mind this blue but I prefer the metallic blue of the "Californian" model from Australia, with the 1275 motor, again standard in that configuration - was this one resprayed ? I was amazed at the lack of rust, sea-side Sydney salt air was a killer. Personally I did not like the white roof tho'
I had a Moke in the late 1970’s. It was a nightmare. I bought it brand new and within five miles it broke down., and kept breaking down until I sold it about two years later. A true POS. Don’t let the cheeky looks suck you in!
@@garethjones8047 I do t agree with all you dooms day Peeps! Never gotta good word for Mike. I think Peeps are jumping on the band wagon? Cos Mike hasn't done nothing more, than Ed has done. No differance in my opinion. I'd even go as far.as.....Eds attitude on last series was crap. He was the moody one. What did Mike do??
@@groovejet33 well this is only my opinion, but I will say it anyway. Mike is a gobby wanker, too big for his boots, and as a mechanic myself for 25 years, I know that he knows fuck all about cars. But that's not to say I'm totally on Ed's side, because I'm not. Ed was actually just a TV presenter. He had very little to do with the actual mechanical bits that were portrayed in the television programme. The real mechanic was actually paul, you know, the guy they would supposedly take out of the cupboard every now and again? It all makes good TV but none of it is actually real. Mike doesnt actually buy the cars and Ed didnt actually fix them.
@@garethjones8047 lmfao....fantastic information there...lol. Mike didn't buy cars?? Wow. And yeh...Paul...ha ha ha...I wondered where he lived? Now I know..lol. Did they stuff Paul into a suitcase when they flirted off to USA? Lol Ohh well....we cud all.go around in circles , defending & snagging off each of them. I may be naive?? But I liked them both..mind you! Everything in moderation of course? Cos i can get sick of people and things very fast. But cheers....good comments there
@@groovejet33 No, They didnt put him in a suitcase, he had already gone because he didnt like the way the show was heading. I do actually have all of this on very good authority. Sorry to piss on your chips, you obviously believe everything that goes on inside the TV screen. The show was about getting viewing figures for a Production Company, it was nothing to do with any love for cars, even the people who supposedly turned up to purchase the cars were actors. 25 years experience also tells me that nothing that was getting done here was real world stuff.

More Edd, more Mini Moke.

Ah yes the fan.....a trap for young players as my old boss used to say. Love the Moke.
Edd, use weld thru primer on the inside box panels, then follow with a cavity wax. Very surprised you omitted those 2 very important steps.
Normal for Edd

Love that VW Bus shirt, Edd!!!
@Gappie Al Kebabi Thanks for your interest in my comment, but clean your glasses, Junior..Its a VW Kombi. Some people’s children….
L'année dernière j'ai vu un Mini Moke de la même couleur sur le boulevard Curé-Labelle au nord de Montréal (Canada).
Good example of a Moke. Anyway, no need to change the cooling system with anything electrical, just keep the system clean and flush and you can run de car under extreme climates with no problem whatsoever.
Love this show
The original fan has been fitted the incorrect way around! That's one BIG reason they don't operate very efficiently. :)
Had loads of mini's etc never had problems with over heating

Neither did I... and living in sunny Spain. The system is perfectly designed only needs to be flushed and clean, something no one does Today.

My love car
Why does edd never touch up ratty parts, wire wheel rust converter paint. Some obvious parts he does but not all - they are just going to get worse
Isn’t that fan blowing the wrong way???
Yes, I put a post to that effect last week and it’s been deleted.
So what’s up with this guy. Preaching bs as though he is the expert :)
Ric Hutchings ??? You don’t need to be an expert to see if a fan is pulling hot air from an engine.
Ric Hutchings rude prick
Porque nunca se ensucia la ropa de aceite ni usa overol

An uncle had one in the '80s. Never had a problem as far as I know.
I'm sure your looking at the prices of mokes now & wishing you kept it.
There were obviously something wrong with your car.
Ed - 1 Mike- 0

another copy of the jeep. add it to the list with land cruiser, defender, bronco, and mahindra. all copied the jeep
The Jeep itself is another copy of previous war models from Western & Eastern Europe, so don't worry too much...
