runamoke HISTORY

From one of the first Mokes produced (1964 English Moke (left) to one of the last (1992 Portuguese Moke (right))

Into mokes since 1965

Runamoke was started in 1965 by Ron Smith after he fell in love with the Moke, - something a lot of people are still doing today. Back then, the Moke was fairly new on the scene, but attracted a wide and diverse following and up to 1994 was manufactured in various countries, and had many changes.

At its peak, Runamoke sold Mokes repaired them, carried out the routine servicing requirements, body repairs and sold the parts all over the world. They even rented Mokes out and had many on various film locations far and wide. If you needed anything to do with a Moke, you only had to contact Runamoke.

After the last produced Mokes: Today

Today, of course, you can’t buy a new Moke - well not easily anyway, - but not much else has changed.
We don’t hire them out to film-makers anymore, but much else is the same.
