MOKE International has announced that full production of MOKE vehicles has returned to the United Kingdom – the home of the brand.<\/p>\n

From today, all MOKEs will be built at a facility operated by the British automotive manufacturing services company, Fablink Group.<\/p>\n

Since the marque was revived in 2017, MOKE International\u2019s production operations have been based between the Midlands and France, with initial cars engineered in the UK with assembly taking place on the continent.<\/p>\n

The complete move back to the UK has been made possible by UK government grant funding from the Niche Vehicle Network, alongside the recent trade deal, which allows UK automotive businesses tariff-free access to EU markets, based on defined rules of origin.<\/p>\n

It also follows strong demand for what is rapidly re-emerging as the ultimate beachfront and country estate vehicle. This has led to the creation of key commercial jobs to guide the brand through its next growth phase, including expansion into international markets.<\/p>\n

Fablink Group, headquartered in Northamptonshire, England, is a leading Tier 1 supplier of automotive structures and complete vehicle assemblies to several global OEMs. They provide comprehensive design, manufacturing and engineering services to some of the world\u2019s leading automotive manufacturers including Jaguar Land Rover and Morgan.<\/p>\n

The company has over 500,000 sq ft of production space and employs around 700 highly skilled engineers, production operators and technicians across six UK sites.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s long-term commitment to MOKE production is reflected in key investment in state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities and processes, ensuring flexibility in response to client demand. This enables MOKE to continue to grow its customisation offering that has drawn so many new clients to the marque.<\/p>\n

From the revival of the marque in 2017, Fablink\u2019s technical team has worked with MOKE\u2019s engineers, drawn from the leading names in automotive manufacturing, to scale production capacity to meet demand both at home and internationally.<\/p>\n

MOKE customers can specify a full range of colours and trim options throughout the vehicle. This includes configurable individual shades for the car\u2019s chassis, bumpers, central bars and front grille – affording a nearly limitless scope to create truly individual interpretations of the MOKE\u2019s iconic design.<\/p>\n

Since the brand was revived in 2017 by MOKE International, the company\u2019s designers have created special editions celebrating the marque\u2019s heritage.<\/p>\n

In July 2021, the brand invited its customers to \u2018go commando\u2019 with a limited edition \u2018Military Spec\u2019 collection evoking the car\u2019s original brief to design legend, Sir Alec Issigonis, to create a vehicle robust enough to be thrown from an aeroplane for behind enemy lines operations.<\/p>\n

From these very functional origins, MOKE quickly captured the imagination of a glamorous global set from St Tropez to Malibu. The Beatles, the Beach Boys and even Brigitte Bardot were all enchanted by the car\u2019s sense of open-top fun and freedom and it soon became the ultimate beach house-to-waterfront shuttle.<\/p>\n

The vehicle is also slightly larger to provide more cabin space. Features previously viewed as a luxury like power steering and heated windscreen now, of course, come as standard.<\/p>\n

Pricing starts at \u00a320,000 excluding local taxes and delivery.<\/p>\n
