The TV Car That Everyone Forgot - Gerry Anderson’s SHADO Moke

Join Adam Poulton as he uncovers the remarkable story behind one of television’s most unusual vehicles. At first glance it doesn’t even look like a Mini… but that’s exactly what it is. Built for Gerry Anderson’s groundbreaking 1970 television series UFO, the SHADO Moke became one of the most distinctive vehicles ever to appear on British television. But after filming ended, its story took an extraordinary turn. Forgotten for decades and eventually rediscovered in Tenerife by Luca Pedrazzi, this rare television icon has travelled an incredible journey from TV star to abandoned relic before being painstakingly brought back to life. This is the fascinating story of the Mini you’ve never seen. ⸻ 🚗 Every classic has a story to tell.
