Mokes In Ireland

Post by Billy »

I was talking to club member Martin Murray last night and we got onto the subject of Mokes. Martin has the grey Moke that is seen at the Charleville Show each year. We reckon we know of about 7 genuine Mokes in Ireland:

Cork 2
Kildare 1
Galway 1 (my old one)
Limerick 3

Are there others scattered around the country that people are aware of? Genuine ones, not Scamps or chopped down autotest thingies?

There was a blue and white one in ballina mayo for years in everyday use up until about 8 years ago. Dunno where it got to.

Are these real Mini Mokes or Scamp lookalikes?

Can't believe they're all genuine as we never see them out.

Billy

Thought to myself: possible table quiz question: what's the difference between a Scamp and a Moke?

Despite what the seller says, this isn't a Moke:
