Looks like a Willys and a Moke had a little baby

Wendax · « **Reply #3 on:** 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?

No, but heading in the right direction

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

Ami based?
is it a Yagan?

Wendax · « **Reply #14 on:** 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 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 22, 2012, 05:22:57 PM »

Moke?

Jeep? GP?

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 · « **Reply #20 on:** 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 · « **Reply #22 on:** April 26, 2020, 10:32:48 AM »

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

Wendax · « **Reply #23 on:** April 27, 2020, 01:50:03 AM »

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