"Introducing the Mini-Moke, our first twin-engined car, designed by Alec Issigonis who gave us the Mini. The Moke has an engine at the back as well as the front. Both engines have their own gear lever but are controlled by the same accelerator and clutch. Its performance is quite something: 72 bhp gives a top speed around 75 miles-an-hour."

Been reminded on another forum. Today would have been Jim Clark's 80th birthday.
