Never seen an Oka stretch limo before.

Great looking rig, very innovative, with an array of Land Rover doors, would make a good motorhome.

Thanks for the photos.

I wonder if its had the chassis added at the backend or in the middle?

That's an awesome tree over the workshop.

2 November was OKA day in Cardwell. While waiting for an appointment in Cardwell, I saw 3 Wilderness Challenge OKAs heading south and approx. 20 minutes later another OKA went south. I didn't get details of it but had seen it driving around Ingham a week before. Not often we see one a day let alone 4.

3WJ.
Wow, now there was a place.
I did not believe places like that actually existed until we visited in 2003 looking for an OKA. I think they had 3. I did not buy any of them.

Cheers,
Peter

Yes well known bunch of rogues, I know of quite a few people that have had dealings with them over the years, I too looked at an Oka there in the late 90's, noting down the VIN and ringing Robin and in turn the Alice Springs mob that serviced it brought to light the fact that it had been written off after being washed off a causeway and spending a month or so submerged in water and mud. It had lost over 700k off the odo and was being represented as a one owner vehicle with around 200k on the clock and in excellent condition.
They are still trading under a different name and not much has changed.

WE went down the Skippers canyon road a couple of weeks ago. Really scary road in places. At the end of the road we found 3 OKA'S parked. 287 336 and 282. Some of this area was featured in the Lord of the Rings film. We had an exciting jet boat ride up the Shotover River from where the oka's were parked.

Don't know if any of the guru's know anything about this Oka.
From a post on the Motorhome Forum " Saw this OKA in Kruger National Park earlier this year. Thought you OKA people might like it. Sorry, I did not get its number. The tent on the back is a roof top tent, quite common in Africa. The vehicle was owned by a German who flies down each year to use it. Feel free to use the photo in your club...Allan"
