Mini Moke
Re: Mini Moke
It has been mentioned but goodness knows when This Thames is an unregistered example which was sadly stored where the interior got damp hence the total lack of camper fittings. The owner had the van painted in this primrose colour after seeing this period film http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRcgE_Zek0M
The elevating roof remains intact and the vehicle is a relaible starter and runner. The owner contemplated putting a V8 in this little motor but thank God he resisted. He is something of a classic ford guru and an all round decent bloke.
If you think the van is awesome, have you checked out our projects page? http://adwautomotive.co.uk/index_5.htm

Re: Mini Moke
That's quite some list. Is the Chalmers from the same outfit that used to be best known for these:

Re: Mini Moke
I clicked the link and a little came out.
A quick Wikipaedola search suggests that Allis-Chalmers and Chalmers were in fact not connected and that the Chalmers who built the cars was the same Chalmers who was behind the NCR company, makers of the world's tills before Casio even existed. It seems that Chalmers was one of the brands that formed Chrysler, most interesting, sorry for the distraction.

Re: Mini Moke
Well, you learn something every day. The Chalmers isn't my sort of thing, I cant help wonder what it would look like channeled and sectioned with a hemi engine up front

Re: Mini Moke
Well they built tens of thousands of them, the only reason they weren't heard of in most other places being the sheer scale of the USA I suppose. So if somebody modified one example I can't see any of the anally retentive concours types Chalmers aficionados being too upset. After all, it would be great for publicity!
Suggest you sneak into your work at dead of night and start the job, they'd thank you eventually.

That is a serious time zone difference!
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.
