My heritage cert says my 66 Moke was destination (dealer) New York. Think the Buick dealer brought them through that port.

I did find a twini Moke in Ohio back in 2017. It was at Mini Meet East in Columbus, in that year. I still have a bunch of photos. Maybe I'll start a thread if anyone it interested. It was a very popular car there.

Wow, this thread has a few great reminders of the reason I don't spend much time on this forum any more.

Doing some research. seems Keenan Motors still has copy of the franchise with British Leyland and MOKE name. One of the original Berry brother / owners is still alive in PA

People that think that a LH drive Mini is perfectly fine probably think there is no problem with this Mini

Here's a Mini with left hand drive AND levers and pulleys.

I was trying to be generous. Ya think being compared to "Tony" would have an effect. Judging by his "pulley" posting, I guess not.

Apparently not....

We get your opinion about right and vs left hand Minis. You are entirely entitled to your opinion. However, If that's the only thing you can contribute to the discussions here, it gets tiresome and detracts from the apparent worth of what you do have to contribute.

Has he contributed anything of worth? I must have missed it.
