What the Moke could have been!

Currently on ebay under - Mini Moke (amc cub) where there are lots of pictures!

A Mini Mag feature car

This car is an AMC CUB, which is based on the Australian moke.
Don't be fooled by the rust, it's fake paint on rust, to make it look like it was found in the desert. Hence the nick name the 'Desert Rat'.
The body is Galvanised so no need to worry about real rust.

It has an 120bhp supercharged A+ series engine, built with only the best parts:-

Vmax supercharger webber set up,
Custom cold air induction system,
Large valve ported unleaded head (with cooper S valve springs and Mini Spares 1.5 ratio rockers),
Oil breather system,
Re-ground S crank, main centre strap with Cooper con rods and OMEGA FORGED 18cc Turbo pistons,
Mini Spares Turbo Oil Pump,
Kent K100 Turbo cam,
MED balanced flywheel and Competition clutch,
Guesswork straight cut gears, drop gears, 3.9 final drive and X pin Diff,
Maniflow exhaust Manifold,
RC40 Exhaust.
Mini Spares 2 core sports radiator,
Uprated 70 amp alternator,
Light weight, high torque starter motor,
KAD quick shift gear selector with 3rd gear bias

Brakes:-
12 inch cross drilled, grooved disc's, green stuff pads
Rear Minifin drums

Suspension
SPAX shocks at rear. Mini spares moke shocks on the front.

RAYVERN HYDRAULIC UP AND DOWN SUSPENSION AT THE TOUCH OF A BUTTON (FOR EXTRA GROUND CLEARANCE)

JBW pepperpot wheels with DMak rally gravel tyres.

Custom made seats, which are surprisingly comfortable.
Willans harnesses (MOT compliant)

It has a removable bikini hood and a locking fold down windscreen. A spare windscreen will be supplied with the sale.

Quick release steering wheel and Cobra immobiliser.

HAS JUST BEEN MOT'D FOR SUMMER and passed with flying colours and no advisory notes.

It is a 2013 car that only needs a pre '92 emissions test for the MOT.

All the work has only been carried out a couple of years ago.

It was the original demo car for AMC and currently has only 190 miles on the clock!

So treat yourself to something different, can be enjoyed at the weekends or at car shows. That'll get more attention than a Ferrari!

For full buyer peace of mind the full build thread is on TMF (the mini forum)

Oh and with straight cut gears and a Supercharger, it sounds epic!

Currently on ebay under - Mini Moke (amc cub)

Offers around £17k. Based in Birmingham

Nice spec:, but they are a bit draughty in all but the three days of high-summer in UK, ------  However, with global warming, might be a future investment.
