All:
The Chinese have started making the Moke again. Sadly it doesn’t appear to be US legal (no surprises, but disappointing).

Was going to get the wife a Mini Cooper S (maybe even a JCW) ragtop for when we retire to the USVI in ~3 years,but I think this would be better. Any ideas on sourcing a gas powered new Moke with an automatic transmission? There’s a dealer in Miami, another in NY. But they only sell the electric one. Several dealers in the Caribbean that carry the gas model, although none in the USVI. Their answer to “Can it be registered in the USVI” is too vague for my taste.
Any ideas? The original Mokes are now either silly money or rotten, and I’m not convinced buying an electric one & dropping in a gas engine & transmission would be ‘legal’ enough.
Cheers,
Paul.
