SUMMARY

A rare and appealing alternative to a Mini Moke, offering exceptional character and usability at a significantly lower entry point

DESCRIPTION

  • Charming Plein Air-style Renault 4 (R1123) conversion, imported to the UK by the current owner and presented in very good, usable condition
  • Originally owned by an elderly gentleman in South Africa, where it was cherished for many years before being exported
  • Extensive 2025 recommissioning work includes skimmed and pressure-tested cylinder head with new water distribution tube, new top ball-joints, steering rack gaiters, suspension bushes, brakes stripped and cleaned, new oil and filter, reconditioned alternator, and a new windscreen
  • Tyres in excellent condition, and whilst the paintwork is not concours, it remains highly presentable
  • Known imperfections include dipped beam currently inoperative and no bonnet stay or jack
  • Offered at half the cost of a Mini Moke yet equally as distinctive, this Plein Air conversion is finished to an impressively high standard. A rare and engaging classic, equally suited to coastal drives or eye-catching promotional use.
