Moke International has released pictures of its reborn Mini Moke Anniversary that boasts an updated chassis and a more modern powertrain, but a hefty price tag of $35,000.
Sadly, for those who fancy a fractionally more modern version of the old Mini Moke, which was built between 1964 and 1993, you'll have to be quick as the British firm reviving the old beach-friendly drop-top says it will produce only 56 of them.
Modifying the original for 2020, the Moke returns with a modern 1.1-litre four-cylinder in place of the old wheezy 848cc A-Series lump.
Now featuring new-fangled fuel-injection in place of the old Moke single SU carb, the Moke International version produces a still-meagre 50kW and 93Nm of torque and is available with either a four-speed auto or five-speed manual.
The new Moke also only has a 109km/h maximum speed, but the uprated suspension and modern ABS braking system means it should be much safer than the original.
Inside, there's even been some in-car tech innovations. The new Moke gets a two-speaker USB radio, a heated windscreen, three-gauge instrument cluster, plus a pair of waterproof seats that slide.
Buyers can choose from 14 paint finishes, while 13-inch Minilite alloy wheels come as standard.
A chrome grille and chrome windscreen rails are also included, along with a Union Flag badge mounted on the front grille and a numbered plaque.
Originally created as a lightweight vehicle for the military, the Moke was rejected by the British Army due to its lack of ground clearance, but found favour as a recreational vehicle around the world, particularly in warm climates with surfers.
Manufactured in Australia from 1966 to 1981, the Aussie-made Leyland Moke Californian remains highly sought-after by collectors, not least because it came with the bigger, more powerful 1275cc A series engine.
Later versions featured hard-wearing denim seat covers on the 'comfort' seats, spoked rims and cute roo bars up front.
Acquiring the Moke trademark in 2015, Moke International produces the bodies in the UK, before shipping the Moke kits to France for final assembly.
In the UK, the 56 modern-day Mokes sell from around £20,000 ($A35,400).
The British firm says it plans to relaunch the Moke in Europe and the US following its success in other export markets like the Caribbean.
There's no word yet if a return to Australia is on the cards.
