There's a new rule that says car designs over 25 years old can be sold in the U.S. without having to comply with current safety regulations. But the catch is you can only sell 325 of them. So the Moke is coming but only people with big bucks and good connections will get one.





These are very close to the original Mokes and not at all like the all electric one a different Moke company is selling. Pricing should be $40k 44hp and a top speed of 50mph; most likely headed for Sun City or the Beverly Hills country club.

This might be the best news of the decade.

Yes, this rule will allow "collector's editon" versions of older Rolls, Mercedes, Ferrari, etc. to come the U.S.

Can you imagine the price of a "new" Mercedes 300sl?

Amazing news but can't see paying 40k for that golf cart.

I could see my brother-in-law getting one to use on his hunting club. He's got some Polaris "golf carts" and a Geo Tracker, the successor to the Suzuki Samurai.

The Moke is the Rolex of golf carts. :-)

How could Ralph Nader allow this to happen?

Great memories of cruising around Magnetic Island on these in the 80s.
