In Australia it was sold as Morris prior to 1973, not BMC. |

Fine by me. We have too many contradictory comments on various Aus Moke pages about 68-72 local brand (variously Leyland, BMC or Morris) and therefore inconsistent IDs for those years, so it's good to simplify to something coherent. So 68-72 Aus brand = Morris (which extends back to 66 as well), 73+ = Leyland. Unless anyone can prove different ...... It would also be useful to know when Aus Mokes started this bigger combined sidelight indicator (from 1100 ADO16??) instead of original Mini round indicator only as UK production. |

Sorry. I thought it said: "LEYLAND" above the wheel arch, but those are just ribs... ![]() |

Update - big wheels = 69-74 [YDO18] 1098cc, badged as 69-72 Morris, 72+ Leyland |

YDO18 = made from 1966 onwards? |

^ not according to my sources. Small 10" wheels Aus-made was 68 or 69 as YDO8. Replaced by 13" wheels YDO18 in 1969 |

Bigger split sidelights now dateable to 1972 Leyland rebranding, but keeps YDO18. |

The Moe is a 1979 Moke built in the second part of the year. The identifying features are the under sub frame mount for the front bumper and the small filler cap on the fuel tank, both features that only appeared together in the last part of 1979 to meet an ADR(Australian Design Rule) for lockable fuel tanks as a quick fix until the next model was released in November 1979. The under sub frame bumper mounts were part of the next model and some were used earlier so likely to be September-November production. |

Australian Moke used 10" wheel from April 1966 to April 1968 after which all Mokes were 13" wheels until production by Cagiva went to 12" wheels. Company name in 1979 was Leyland Australia. Leyland, British Leyland and BLMC all finished in 1974. |
