I have never heard of these cars and went to Wikipedia to learn a little. pretty neat. Rahal said the collection was racing cars from when he was a teenager. i wonder if his car is one of these:
The John Player & Sons cigarette company ran a team of Mokes in autocross competitions on grass tracks through 1968.[5] These vehicles were equipped with rollover protection and used the Mini Cooper S 1275 cc engine.
In 1977, a 1,275 cc Cooper S-engined Moke (sponsored by Coca-Cola) was entered into the Singapore Airlines London-Sydney Marathon. The car was driven over 30,000 kilometres (18,600 mi) over 30 days and finished in 35th place.[3]
