Honda B18 VTEC Mini Moke – Fully Engineered Custom Build
A rare opportunity to own Morgan, a genuinely unique Mini Moke powered by a Honda B18 VTEC engine.
This was not a quick engine swap. The Moke was comprehensively rebuilt and engineered around the Honda drivetrain, with considerable time spent getting the mechanical installation, braking, steering, electrical system and supporting components right.
The conversion began with a complete Honda Integra VTi-R donor vehicle. The build used an Allspeed Engineering subframe, custom driveshafts, heavy-duty CV joints and adjustable lower control arms. The project also incorporated Honda-based electrical and steering components, a custom fuel system and purpose-built solutions for the extremely tight Moke engine bay.
Key features
• Honda B18 VTEC engine and matching gearbox
• Haltech ECU
• Allspeed Engineering conversion subframe
• Custom driveshafts and heavy-duty CV joints
• Adjustable front lower control arms
• Upgraded disc-brake arrangement
• Custom intake and exhaust installation
• EFI fuel system with surge tank, lift pump, high-pressure pump, regulator and filter
• Honda steering column and switchgear
• MX-5 seats
• Full soft top with side curtains
• Wireless Apple CarPlay stereo
• Rear seating with upgraded occupant-restraint provisions
• Extensive documented build history
The complete build has been documented from the original concept through fabrication, installation and final development. The thread provides prospective buyers with a level of history rarely available with a modified vehicle:

Morgan delivers the open-air character and personality of a classic Moke with the performance, drivability and reliability benefits of a Honda VTEC drivetrain. It attracts attention everywhere and would suit a Moke enthusiast, collector or someone looking for a truly individual car.
This is a reluctant sale and an opportunity to purchase a completed, developed and highly distinctive Moke without taking on the time, expense and complexity of building one from scratch.
