Hi Guys,

i know you probably laugh but just bought a Moke for the south of france where we live.

Does anyone know why the VIN number is not recognised by car parts garages in the uk? the car has a V5 and was imported into the uk.

and 

Does anyone have any experience in importing aussie Mokes into france as i heard it wasn't possible or recognised in France where the UK and Portuguese ones are.

Any help or feedback is valuable.

Thanks

Gav

Hey nice one !

 

The Body Number (sometimes referred to as a VIN, though, that's not correct) pre-dates the ISO VIN system.

You'll find some Body Numbers for the Californian models here;-
