Maserati 4.7 V8 in a Mini Moke!!!!!

[Ewan]

This Mini Moke is running on Italian V8 power

Because why wouldn’t you want a big V8 in an 850kg buggy?

Still can't work out how that all fits.

There’s is a guy on FB selling a TVR with a 4.7 Maserati V8 in it. That must shift.

looks bizzarely attractive and super power to weight ratio I would assume

Indeed it will do more 360s than most cars before it comes to a halt.

Looks like it should weigh less than 850kg to me.

it does seem that way but probably has quite a substantial chassis under the tin work to cope with all that power

Bonkers but fantastic, it sounds spot on!

Half of it is engine.

Hmmm ... not sure about the truth of the engine fitting, but it's a lovely tribute to the original film which is absolutely brilliant. Notice the traffic lights!

OMG that is fabulous! Made my day ...

this was one of the reasons for me pick the hybrid 4200 from Rockits last year...sound just right for the occasional drive to feel five years old again..

An excellent vid, but what was the car and who drove it?

Aha! That is a question which has vexed many for a generation! ... who knows???

And what is that? A facelift manual 4200 with GranSport surfboards and some plaque on the door cards? Lovely!

 

[rivarama]

What sort of exhaust is fitted on that gransport?

 

[Ewan]

Can’t be a GranSport - it’s a manual.

Or were GranSports available in manual in LHD only?

Sorry but for me a waste of a great engine.
