Car retailer Esplanade is delighted to announce it is now the sole retailer for MOKE on the Isle of Wight.

Better still, the team already has two of these Great British icons in their Cowes showroom.

Driving in convoy, the new MOKEs were collected by the Esplanade team recently from Poole.

Understandably these eye-catching cars attracted quite a bit of attention whenever they stopped, including at Wightlink's Lymington ferry terminal.

Since MOKE announced plans to relaunch in the UK interest has been high.

Returning 56 years after first gracing British roads this upgraded version sees a refined motor and chassis to meet modern buyer requirements.

Now with full official production of the MOKE in the UK a new generation of enthusiasts can be introduced to its open-air thrills.

Brendan Cole, Esplanade's sales manager, said: "We are really excited to play host to the MOKE here at Esplanade.

"It is a perfect fit for our showroom and will give Islanders the opportunity to own their very own iconic, fun, utility vehicle that is perfect for the Isle of Wight driver wanting something a little different and quirky.”

Also arriving in the Summer will be the brand new all-electric MOKE.

Available to order now and built in the UK, this introduction will eventually lead to the marque going fully electric by January 1, 2023.
