EXTERIOR
This utterly unspoilt 88-Spec Crossover model is finished in stunning factory optional Mercury Grey, (Code Q 7), which is astonishing in both appearance and originally being a rare unrestored example. The paintwork boasts a deep polished shine throughout and all factory panels, decals and badges are original fitment. Nothing other than a few light markings and some frontal stone chips affect the paint finish, utterly insignificant. The panels are straight with uniform gaps including the original factory front wings with Ford oval logo and date stampings visible. The underside and all wheel arch apertures are untouched miracles for a Ford of this era, all clean with no historic repairs, thanks in part to the Truseal rustproofing treatment when new, garage storage and impeccable upkeep. Factory Sekurit glass is fitted throughout as are the original Carello headlamps and spotlights. All other light clusters as genuine Ford items with the offside rear cluster showing a small hairline crack. Supplying Ford Main Dealer branded number plates, rear screen sticker and tax disc holder are still fitted! Incredibly difficult to find in such an unmolested condition, an absolute credit to the enthusiast owners.

INTERIOR
The interior of this Escort RS Turbo remains exactly as Ford intended. The body-hugging Recaro seats are trimmed in Zolda fabric, (Code LW), correct for an 88-Spec Crossover. The upholstery is clean and fully intact with only slight wear to the driver’s seat outer bolsters and base. Amazingly the lumber support pad is still with the car! Matching door cards are in very good condition with no plastic fatigue to the inner door handles and very light shrinkage to the driver’s side armrest. The headlining is tight with no damage and clean carpets are preserved thanks to original Ford mats. All switches, knobs and dials function correctly including the overhead console digital clock and Quickclear heated front screen. The boot area is very clean with factory stickers, original Dunlop SP Sport D40 spare tyre, jack and protection pads. The parcel shelf is pin straight and neatly fitted with two period Goodmans speakers. A deliciously 80’s Ford interior!

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The 1.6 OHC (CVH) fuel injected engine with a Garrett AiResearch T3 turbo charger and intercooler is completely factory standard. Producing 132bhp in such a lightweight car, the 0-60mph sprint is dealt with in 8.2 sizzling seconds and a top speed of 128mph to quicken the pulse. Genuine Motorcraft service parts are visible including red Ford plug leads and fuel filter and the bonnet sound deadening with foil heatshield is fully intact. The super clean engine bay displays all plates, labels and stickers. Some tarnishing to the slam panel is visible but has been left untreated to uphold originality. An expensive bespoke full stainless-steel exhaust, sympathetic in size to the original system, has been fitted. A major service, water pump and cambelt was carried out in June 2026 as well as a new battery and the original turbo professionally reconditioned. The 5-speed manual gearbox is light and precise.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The instantly recognisable RS Turbo alloy wheels are stunning with insignificant tiny marks and clearly defined part numbers and size stampings often lost upon refurbishment. Four matching premium Goodyear 195/50 R15 tyres are fitted retaining excellent tread. This fast Ford icon stops as well as it goes with the ABS braking system designed in conjunction with Lucas Girling working perfectly with all maintenance upheld.

HISTORY FILE
Manufactured in September 1988 at the Saarlouis assembly plant in Germany and registered new on 6th March 1989 by Ford Main Dealers, KT Group in Dartford, this fabulous example has covered a warranted 64,170 miles from new. The first owner, Mr Pearce, clearly wanted to preserve and protect his purchase and hence chose an expensive alarm system as well as sophisticated preservation treatments for rustproofing and upholstery care. In 1993 the car was sold to the second owner who went on to have the car for 28 years. Mr Crooks was fanatical about the car and the condition and originality is testament to his pride in the car. From the start of his ownership, he kept a detailed maintenance log which remains upheld today, and it was not until 2022 that he made the difficult decision to sell the car to a good friend.

The very neatly organised history file dates to when the car was new with handover packs for the Truseal and Trufab treatments as well as the fitting of the alarm system. A comprehensive file of service records and MOT certificates fully verify the mileage and even historic tax discs have been neatly mounted! The supplying dealer branded document wallet holds handbooks, the original service book and spare keys. Even a Ford RS range sales brochure is included! This RS icon will appeal to those wanting a real rarity, an unspoilt and unmodified example fit for exhilarating outings and classic car shows.

This absolute treasure of a Mk1 Ford Fiesta Van was supplied by Ford main dealer, Hartford Motors (Oxford Ltd), and their commercial division on the 1st June 1980. Only having two owners from new, John Hughes and his daughter, Phidda Hughes. As a civil engineer, Mr Hughes insisted on a double coating of underseal when new well aware of the problems of rust and taking a precautionary approach. The vehicle was used for very light duties for transporting boxes of wood products that he manufactured as a hobby for local customers around the Kidlington area. Always placing blankets in the cargo area before setting off on a journey. Unfortunately, Mr Hughes had a major stroke and was severely disabled for the last seven years of this life and the vehicle was subsequently transferred into his daughter care who has remained the devoted custodian ever since. A neat A4 file contains all documents, previous V5 registration certificates and recent expenditure proving absolute provenance and maintenance works. A letter from Ms Hughes tracks the history for the next enthusiast to cherish. All handbooks, the original service book, van sales brochure and Ford Fiesta Van operating guide are included. A set of keys are on a worn supplying dealer leather key fob. Only physical inspection and test drive of this incredible example allows you to appreciate just how special this survivor is and perhaps even with the bragging rights of being rarer than an Supersport or XR2?

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The 6-cylinder common-rail diesel engine makes every drive an enjoyable journey with a whole array of features. These include, piezoelectric injectors for ultra-high precision fuel metering and improved air ducting for instant power response. With 224bhp and a whopping 510 Nm of torque, this machine will accelerate from 0-62mph in 7.0 seconds and on to a top speed of 153mph. With full main dealer service history and a combined 37.2mpg this is a formidable package. The 7G-Tronic 7-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly harnessing the thumping torque of the engine with complete control. Perfect.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Factory cost-optional 18 inch 5-spoke design alloy wheels are unmarked and shod in Continental ContiSportContact 245/40 R18 with ample tread. The spare remains unused. The CLS-Class Adaptive Brake system helps optimise other safety functions such as ESP, ASR, ABS and BAS and with LED brake lights to alert drivers behind to emergency braking thanks to their ability to both flash and switch on the hazard lights. Powerful and safe.

Mini Moke Californian

Written by

SORRY NOW SOLD – SIMILAR WANTED

An original British Leyland Portugal Mini Moke Californian with 27,221 miles.

MODEL HISTORY
The Mini Moke is a small lightweight utility vehicle originally conceived and manufactured as a military vehicle by the BMC (British Motor Corporation). The name Moke is a derivation from the British slang term for Mule or Donkey. BMC’s Cowley plant began production in 1964 but plans to supply the military were quickly shelved as the vehicles were deemed not powerful enough with too low ground clearance. BMC changed tack and offered the Moke, early cars only being available in Spruce Green, to the British public aimed at farmers and light commercial operators. British Customs and Excise soon deemed the Moke a passenger car rather than commercial vehicle therefore losing exemption of purchase tax benefits hence reducing sales in the intended market. British production of the Moke ceased in 1968 when around 15,000 English Mokes had been produced and Australian production spanned 1966 to 1981 under the Morris and Leyland brands. As Australian production began to wind down, manufacturing was transferred in 1980 to British Leyland’s subsidiary in Portugal, which made Mokes until 1989. In 1990 the company, now The Rover Group, sold the Moke name to Cagiva, a motorcycle manufacturer in Italy where production continued until 1993. This brought an end to nearly 30 years of genuine Moke production and the following years have seen Chinese reproductions, kit cars, look-alikes and customisations. The original genuine Mini Moke cars remain highly collectable and sought-after.

EQUIPMENT
Lightweight rugged Monocoque steel chassis, extra-strength roll-over bar, laminated windscreen, tailored simple-to-fit all-weather gear including side screens, 8-gallon fuel tank, locking petrol cap, lightweight removable bonnet with rubber toggles, side compartments, side grab handles, wing mirrors, twin high-backed and reclining front seats, heater, front and rear floor covering, Dutton UK Optional Extras: Special hefty nudge bumpers, 5 x multi-spoked alloy wheels, side wheel arch mud guards, rear wheel mud flaps, leather steering wheel, MPH speedometer, folding rear bench seat, inertia-reel front seat belts, Accessories: Front trailer board socket, sliding removable rear number plate, static rear seat belts.

EXTERIOR
This genuine British Leyland Portugal Mini Moke is finished in original Maroon, (Code ENT), with the nudge and rollover bars colour chosen from new as White. This is an unrestored example which is incredibly rare and the paintwork looks fantastic with a bright shine and uniform finish. The nature of an original car means this wonderful example has picked up some light markings and scratches over the years, but these are insignificant especially in an arena dominated with poorly restored and modified variants. Absolute preservation of the vehicle structure is quite remarkable with no evidence of repair having taken place to the body panels and underside, and none needed. The original all-weather gear and zip up doors are factory fitment, fully intact and show no holes or tears only minor markings and slight discolouration. The rubber guards, Lucas lights, clips and trim are fully intact and the Californian bonnet decals are perfect. A totally unspoilt example with just 27,221 miles from new.

INTERIOR
The brilliantly utilitarian ethos behind the Moke makes for a simplistic vehicle with an abundance of fun assured! In likeness to the exterior, the trim to the seats in White, (Code BBN), is factory original throughout. The upholstery is in fantastic condition and clean with only light markings and some nicks to the seat piping. The fully intact washable floor coverings protect the bright, clean and totally solid floor. The optional upgrade leather steering wheel remains in excellent condition as does the instrumentation and switchgear. Optional seat belts front and rear remain fitted. Utterly devoid of pretention and absolutely fabulous!

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The classic Mini underpinnings and A-Series power plant need no introduction and this Moke develops 40bhp, which is plenty lively in a vehicle weighing just 648kg! The unmolested engine bay is remarkably clean and engine number stamping, body stamp and VIN plate affirm matching numbers against the Moke Production Information Sheet drawn from factory records in the history file. The four-speed all-synchromesh gearbox is precise and the car being lighter and more rigid than the standard Mini, the handling and fun factor are guaranteed!

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The unique Multi-spoke alloy wheels were fitted by the authorised UK distributor, Dutton UK, as an alternative to the more common Sunraysia steels and this example has worn them since new. The wheels have retained the correct high-polished spoke faces and black infills and remain very presentable with some aging within the spokes. The original 100+ steel centre caps remain fitted. Brand new very expensive Pirelli Cinturato 155HR13 tyres were fitted in May 2026 to all wheels including the spare. Drum brakes all-round have been fully overhauled in May 2026 yet still require a firm foot, exactly as when the car was made!

HISTORY FILE
The sole UK importer of the British Leyland Portugal built Mini Moke was Dutton Cars UK Ltd and the Moke Production Information Sheet issued by MOKE NUTTER-MV Portuguese MOKE DATA lists the Market Country as United Kingdom (Dutton UK). Further information verifies production by British Leyland Portugal Ltd, being right-hand drive as well as VIN and engine numbers and body and trim colours and codes. Options are listed along with the final assembly date and date of shipment. This example has only ever been UK registered from new on the 4th October 1984.

The previous owners, Mr and Mrs Crossan, purchased this delightful Moke in 1997 and have been enthusiast owners for almost 30 years, during which time they were active members of The Mini Moke Club. A massive box of ‘Moking’, the magazine of the Mini Moke Club has the car pictured on various Club outings! A large file holds service and maintenance invoices as well as extensive paper MOT record and to bring all maintenance fully up to date, a major service, brake overhaul and fuel system overhaul was carried out in May 2026. Completing the history file is a Moke Californian sales brochure and a copy of Alternative Cars 1984 road testing the Dutton supplied Moke. A phenomenal example ready for more fun and adventures!
