DUNCANS CUB PAGE

Duncans Cub is a 1098cc which only took him 13 years to complete!

He writes...In 1990 Dutton were selling brand new right hand drive Portugese built Mokes. I had an increasingly rusty Clubman estate and heard about Charles Anderson. I had always wanted a Moke and so should have shelled out the £4500 that Dutton wanted. Instead I chose the easy route of building my own! I collected my kit from Charles in May 1990 and, in the blink of an eye, it hit the road in June 2003.

The intervening years saw my enthusiasm wax and wane and the kit move through three build locations. It has however been well worth the wait and I greatly enjoy driving it, although I have no hood so it offers slightly less weather protection than a motorbike and consequently is mostly a sunny afternoon transport.

By coincidence there is a near identical car just a couple of miles from me in Bristol. It is sprayed the same Ford signal yellow as mine but looks quite tired. I once spoke to the owner, who also has a Scamp, a couple of Minor Travellers and a 30s roadster style kit in production. He doesn’t use it on the road as far as I can tell but told me he bought it from someone in Wales.
