I am nearly through the restoration of what I believe to be a 1976 registered Mini Moke. There are however many questions in my head as to the true identity of the vehicle. It has a post 1990 Cooper engine, early Cooper discs and calipers, and a fuel tank that I am told comes from a Portuguese Moke. The Chassis number which is stamped on a plate (newish) states that it is an Austin Mini Moke, weighs 934kg and has the number 348 PE 1719 R 131. This number is also stamped using a pointed punch on the bulkhead crossmember, and stamped numerically on the same.
Any ideas?

PTC permitted towing capacity? Not sure wether its moke or not they made them all over the world so bound to be differences.

No, this is definitely not a Mini Moke. The VIN number is also not from a Moke despite what the (homemade?) plate says.
