For Sale at Auction: 1969 Austin Mini Moke in Scottsdale, Arizona

This 1969 Austin Mini Moke is powered by a 1275cc inline-4 engine paired with an automatic transmission and is finished in British Racing Green with a tan soft-top. The interior features two rows of seating with tan upholstery, and additional equipment includes Smiths instrumentation as well as 10-inch wheels. Accompanying the car is a Sears model 287-61550 trailer with a single wheel. The initial design was a prototype for a light military vehicle in the style of an American Jeep, but its small wheels and low ground clearance made it impractical as an off-road vehicle. It was subsequently offered in a civilian version as a low cost, easily maintained utility vehicle. The Moke finally achieved success as a beach buggy, becoming a popular cult vehicle in the Seychelles, Australia, the U.S. and many tropical resorts in the Caribbean.
