I know a guy who was pulled over by the police when driving his moke. He had trouble convincing them that it wasn't a golf cart and that it was legal to drive on the road.

I sold it to a friend who uses it a lot for runs to the shops, pubs and shows, never had a problem so far.
At speed the tracks sound like a Stuka dive bomber approaching!

Rugged Robin may have been built at the time of the Falklands war, to fulfil a rumoured special forces requirement for an amphibious, two third tracked, light strike vehicle, capable of crossing boggy terrain, and to be air portable by Microlite.
However it's main task was to impart a sense of Britishness and pride while scaring the enemy witless.
And you 'orrible lot ain't seen it, right?

Hats off to whoever painted that
What - wrapped, well that cheating !The Irene
a West Country Trading Ketch, built in 1907 in Bridgewater Somerset.
Not mine I hasten to add.
But I did spend a long summer on board as a child in 1980.
Rebuilt in the 2000s by the Owner as she had a bit of a mishap in the Carribean.
She caught fire, burnt to the waterline and sank in 2003, and it took him about 7 years
approximately to finish the rebuild.

Spotted overseas …
Opel Caravan, originally supplied as a commercial panel van with spare glass in the boot - cut & fit the rear windows when you can afford the non-commercial tax
Karma ghia cabriolet from Texas.
Karma ghia - with Judson supercharger - restored from a wreck 5 years ago by same chap.
Renault 4 - looks like a Minor with suicide doors from some angles
Very unlike a minor from others
