It is remarkable to see a Mini Moke towing a race car. I don't think I have ever see one tow a box trailer let alone a Lotus 47 race car.
The car on the back in 2nd shot is a Lotus 12 I believe, but could be wrong.
It's always handy to have a few spares....
how many of you have seen an MG pickup?
The Geoghegans on the move
In the good old days the main cars came on open transporters
In this pic in addition to the Mustang there is probably a Lotus single seater plus maybe a Lotus 23 sports in the trailer.
All so very simple
Contrast this with recent release from Triple 8 V& supercar team that there new B Double transporter carried 53 TONNES of gear including the two race cars to each meeting. Yes' 53 Tonnes.
I personally think this is obscene and obnoxious and indicates how out of touch with reality V8 supercars is.
The racing was BETTER in the old days when Geoghegan, Beechey, Moffat and Jane arrived on open trucks.
Years latter John Shepherd built a trailer the same to transport his Lotus22/23 cars around,nice touch and behind a Holden Caprice.
I didn't realise this Moke and Lotus 47 was so "famous". Photo taken in 1968.A second go... one day I may master this stupid process for loading photos
Apparently Spark made this model of it
Very thoughtfully the "Gold Leaf Team Lotus" signage has been blurred so we don't get tempted to take up smoking.....

I wonder if they upgraded the engine on the Moke. Surely wasn't standard
Might have been one of the 'TWINNI MOKE' two engine versions made for the army.
