Australian Moke

In 1966, the British Motor Corporation (BMC) begins manufacturing a small quantity of Mini Moke at its plant in Sydney, Australia. In 1968, the entire production is relocated from England to Australia. The Moke is built under different names there, e.g. BMC Morris Mini Moke, BMC Moke Californian or Leyland Moke and is available in different engine sizes with capacities of 998 cc, 1098 cc and 1275 cc. In 1981, production in Australia comes to an end when the plant is transferred to Peugeot. At this point, production of the Mini Moke has already started up in Portugal. CKD parts are already being sent from Australia to the British Leyland plant Industria Montagem in Setubal from 1980.
