I met Perera with his Hand made Mini Moke somewhere in 2011.
He was a Stainless steel fabricator by profession but a genius guy with an extraordinary vision.

I had to go to
him to get a Hood rack fixed to My age old Jeep.
He Did a fine job and I got pally with him and was interested in his Moke Re building work.
He too got a interest in me because I too understood what he was doing and I was able to read the Mechanical Drawings. One day he showed me a drawing from a book which was written by Mr R.B.J Scott from England.
He told me Sir if we can find this book may be we can do a better job.
I looked for the email address and wrote to Mr Scott. He was really a gentlemen and Trusted me to send a copy of this valuable Book which was written by him. A comprehensive guide to restore Mini Mokes.A Master piece of work by Mr Scott.

This was the starting point of Making a Perfect Moke By Perera. He Worked Hard Day and night till we got the First Perfect Moke was Done. The Whole Body is completely Hand Made.
Perera Started making .(Actually speaking Manufacturing Two Mokes at time.) He Started from scrap.
Everything was hand made By Perera. Originally the sell was Made out of Fiber .Finally He Took the pain to do it in Steel itself. Which
Turned out just fine and solid.

Then he starts fixing the Moke. it is amazing to see how he does it.
Once these were done Perera was shown a six wheel Moke and He was impatient till he started on a six wheel Moke.
