Having passed IVA Type Approval with flying colours in June this year, production of the AMC Cub, the Mini-based open-topped fun car, has re-started. The Cub was originally designed by Charles Andersen and built in Liverpool by his company between 1985 and 1997.

According to Charles: “It was, and is, an updated replacement for the Mini Moke which was produced in England, Australia and finally Portugal until about 1989.”

Production of the Cub is now up and running again in Liverpool using all of the original Cub jigs, fixtures and templates. Available as either a two or four seat model, the Cub is based on Rover Mini suspension, brakes and running gear with disc brakes to the front and drums to the rear. The recommended engine is the Rover 1275cc A-series unit on a four speed manual gearbox. For more information phone +44 (0)7903 573 050, e-mail This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
