Izibonelo ezisekhona ze-Leyland Moke yakudala zingabiza imali enzima kulezi zinsuku, kodwa inkampani entsha yase-Australia inikeza inguqulo entsha sha yemodeli ngaphandle kwezingozi zobunjiniyela bama-1960s baseBrithani.
IMoke Motors Australia ibambisene nomkhiqizi waseChina uChery ukuze bakhe inguqulo entsha kodwa eyisikhumbuzo sebutho lezempi kodwa elikhonzwe kakhulu iLeyland Moke yasekuqaleni.
Inguqulo entsha ihlanganisa isitayela se-ragtop esisetshenziswayo esinomshini wesimanje we-Chery futhi yinde kancane futhi ibanzi kuneyokuqala ukuze yamukele kangcono abantu abadala abane.
Lo mshini uhlanganisa injini engu-50cc four-cylinder kaphethroli. I-cc efakwe kuphethiloli engu-93kW/993Nm kanye namagiya amahlanu ashintshwayo noma ozikhethela ukuthi ashintshe imoto yasedolobheni iChery QQ3 emakethe yaseChina.
Isakhiwo esidonsa ngamasondo angaphambili sisebenzisa iMacPherson strut suspension ngaphambili nezingalo ezilandelanayo eziqhubekayo ngemuva, kanjalo ne-power steering nama-disc brakes ngaphambili.
Kuphinde kwahlelwa inguqulo kagesi ye-eMoke, enejubane eliphezulu elingu-60 km/h, ibanga elingu-120 km kanye nekhono lokushajwa ebusuku.
Awekho ama-airbag, awekho ama-ABS, awekho ukulawula ukuzinza, ngakho-ke ungase uzibuze ukuthi iMoke yesimanje izodlula kanjani emithethweni yezokuphepha ka-2014? Lokhu akulona iqiniso, kodwa kudlula ama-ADR amaningi ngokuhambisana nobubanzi obulinganiselwe - amakhophi ayi-100 kuphela enguqulo ngayinye angabhaliswa ngonyaka.
IMoke yesimanje ingabhaliswa ngokugcwele ukuthi isetshenziswe emigwaqeni yase-Australia futhi iphuma ne-powertrain yeminyaka emibili noma i-warranty engu-50,000 km kanye ne-corrosion warranty yeminyaka emihlanu.
Indoda elandela iMoke Motors nguJim Marcos, osebenza ngomthengisi wezimoto odumile waseMelbourne iBlack Rock Motors kanye nomakadebona weminyaka engu-27 embonini yezimoto.
UMarcos uthi isivumelwano phakathi kweMoke Motors nabakwaChery singokokuqala ukuthi inkampani enkulu ekhiqiza izimoto yakhe izimoto ngaphansi kwenkontileka nenkampani ezimele futhi siwumphumela wohlelo lweminyaka eyisikhombisa lokuthuthukisa.

I-Moke Motors ayikaqoki ama-agent esevisi ezinhlobo ezintsha, kodwa izingxoxo ziyaqhubeka zokusebenzisa inethiwekhi yesevisi yasendaweni yakwaChery.
Ukukhiqizwa kufanele kuqale ekuqaleni kukaMeyi, kodwa wonke ukukhiqizwa kowezi-2014 sekuphelile. Izibonelo zokuqala kufanele zilethwe ngoJuni, futhi i-Moke Motors yamukela ama-oda ka-2015.
Intengo iqala ku-$3 ye-Mazda 22,990 Maxx yangaphambi kwethrafikhi, kodwa sikholwa ukuthi bazoba baningi abaya ezindaweni zolwandle esplanades ehlobo elizayo.
