Kit'll be happy, a 1/24 Mini Moke!  Two versions, standard and a Prisoner taxi.

They also do some Mk.1 Mini variants, a van, pick-up and a woody.

There's some LWB conversions for the Italeri Transit.

They also do accessories too.  Lots of wheels especially.

Resin, so they're not cheap.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Damn.

I've just fallen in lust with their 1/24 suspension sets.  Complete IRS & IFS with real springs.  I could so make use of a few sets of those.

A Prisoner Moke would also be nice in the stash.

Yes indeedy!  :thumbsup:

The guy who's doing the Mokes, presumably Mr. Motobitz, got in touch with me about 2 yrs ago about doing a Twini-Moke kit, but when I told him there were only three of them ever made, he reckoned it wouldn't sell.

It wouldn't stop me getting a standard one and modifying it to a Twini, if I could afford it though.  ;D

And I'm with you on those suspension kits Fred, they look REALLY good. The IRS looks to be based on the Jaguar 'crate' they used on the E-Type and almost everything else at that time, but without the cursed sheet metal frame around it.

Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I believe there were about half a dozen made downunder, Kit.

Didn't Number Six drive a Lotus Seven before he became Number Six?
A nice two car diorama could be built using one of these and the Tamiya Caterham (backdated as needed).

If I get enforced lockdown forced on me a rewatch of The Prisoner is in order.

Tamiya's 24th Lotus 7 is pretty much perfect to do P's car, KAR 120C.  I did it myself a good 30 years back and I've a pair to do it again sometime in the future.

First episode here and it has the longer title sequence.

Twini-Mokes, or single engined Mokes Brian?
