i have been offered a mini moke shell for £50. Its nothing but a shell but has had work done on it but i dont know the actual condition as i havent seen it. The guy said to me if i dont take it it is going to be weighed in for scrap. Should i buy it and save the little think, and if i do are any of you willing to buy it of me as i dont want it. I just dont like seeing minis go to that scrapheap in the sky.

Definitely get it.
All the parts axcept the shell are the same as standard (well almost all the parts, there are 1 or 2 minor differences) and some of the panels are available from some sources. Moke's were still made into the '90s in Portugal I think so lots of panels are available on the continent.
