eLMeR ◊ 2016-02-06 00:05	Several sources say also that Australian production started in 1966. See here, here, or here, among other sites. I know that fan sites are sometimes fanciful about the dates, but the first links leads to an Australian forum dedicated to the local Mokes: I think they can easily check that info and would have changed it if not accurate 10" wheels were apparently only available for the 1966-68 models. Which model code had it? the UK one, if there was one?
