A prototype was running by 1959, using a standard 850cc Mini front- wheel drive engine/subframe in a simple, lightweight body, officially called a "buckboard", that appeared to have been designed with Issigonis's set square.
Mokes were intended to be stacked on top of each other, windscreens folded flat and wheels resting on the mudguards of the car below, so they'd be easy to pack into military transport aircraft.
The Moke was meant to be parachuted into combat, and then be light enough to be carried by four squaddies if conditions overwhelmed it.

 North American Mini Moke Registry
Quoting from A Guide to Mini Mokes*, produced by the Mini Moke Club of England, "Far from being a generic term for a boxy, very fun, open vehicle, Mini Moke or Moke means only one thing: a little piece of motoring history.
However, the simple design of the Moke has led to many copies, or similar component vehicles based on Mini mechanics.
These vehicles are perfectly respectable, but are not a genuine Mini Moke, and the potential purchaser of a Mini Moke should be aware of the differences to avoid an expensive mistake."

 My Classic Car Television with Dennis Gage
Such was the case with the Austin Mini Moke, a small four-seat utility-type vehicle produced from 1964 to 1992 by various British Leyland automobile companies in several countries.
Designed by Alec Issigonis, creator of the famed Mini (now being revived by BMW), the Mini Moke came about in the late 1950s and early 1960s proposal for the British military, which was seeking a lightweight utility vehicle that could easily be airlifted and parachuted into the field.
Refinements were made to the Moke's design throughout its production life, with larger engines (the original was an 848-cc Mini powerplant) being fitted (the final versions offered 1,275-cc four-cylinders); better seats (initially seats were optional!); suspension improvements and larger wheels, making the Moke more suitable for its original utilitarian design.

 Mini Moke March 2003 Car Review - CarPoint Australia
The Moke's development as a military vehicle was supervised by Mini designer Sir Alec Issigonis, with focus on weight reduction and the manouvrability to scuttle through hostile terrain before the enemy knew it was there.
In the Moke's case there is nothing - with the possible exception of WWII Jeeps - to compare in terms of appearance or driveability.
Later Mokes with their upgraded interior or early models which have acquired improved seats are preferred choices for comfortable cruising.
