Moke vehicles enter Fiji market

Saturday, August 25, 2007

Mini Moke Fiji Limited will be Fiji's first automobile manufacturing company. Based in Lami, production will commence in October.

The company will be manufacturing comfortable, fuel-efficient and affordable convertibles that will perfectly suit Fiji's tropical climate both for the domestic market and for export to the south Pacific region.

Mini Moke Fiji Ltd has recently acquired the rights to manufacture and distribute the Moke vehicle. Paul Negro, managing director of Mini Moke Fiji, Ltd, revealed that the primary components of the vehicles are being produced in China, while the final assembly will be done in Fiji. Local labour will be engaged once the company commences operation.

Mr Negro said he was aware of the current situation in the country but he had "the utmost confidence" that Fiji's business climate will continue to prosper.

"I've been doing business in Fiji since 1999 and I've seen it grow steadily. I am confident in the country's future." he said.

Mr Negro has been involved in the automotive industry for quite some time and has built research and development facilities for companies such as Ferrari, NGK Sparkplugs, and Nissan Motors from Japan. The new vehicles are a reproduction of the original Moke automobile, which was built by British Leyland in the UK in the 1960s and continued production for some 20-odd years.

"We felt that the time had come to introduce to Fiji a fuel-efficient, lightweight, and eco-friendly vehicle which was suited in every way to the tropical environment." said Mr Negro.

"We have incorporated modern details such as fully galvanized bodies, disc brakes, electronic ignition and sealed waterproof electrical systems."

Waterfront Properties Fiji Islands


You are not buying a house…
You are buying a lifestyle!


Pacific Harbour is situated along a beautiful stretch of coast line, with the lush rainforests, pristine beaches looking across to Beqa Island, home to the world famous Beqa Lagoon, you could not hope for a more beautiful place.

These brand new villas and properties are found in the peaceful and growing town of Pacific Harbour which is situated on the southern coastline of Viti Levu, the main island of Fiji.

Nadi International Airport is only a 2 hours drive west and Suva, the capital of Fiji, is only 45 minutes east with an extra 15 minute drive to Nausori International Airport.

Star Hideaway Fiji

Angela Cuming looks at the roll-call of the famous descending on Fiji every year.

It must be something to do with the palm trees because the Hollywood rich and famous are flocking to Fiji in well-heeled droves. In fact, the getaway has more celebrity pulling power these days than the gift suite at the Oscars.

It is exotic, picture-perfect and home to some of the most exclusive, not to mention expensive, resorts in the world.

There are 333 islands that comprise the tropical paradise of Fiji, so exclusivity is guaranteed.
Actor Mel Gibson loves the place so much he sprung for his very own island, "Mago", in 2004. The private retreat set him back $17.2 million, small change when it guarantees you paparazzi-free sunbaking.

Gibson's new friend Britney Spears is a fan of Fiji too. In October 2004 she honeymooned at Turtle Island resort with Kevin Federline. It's where both the Blue Lagoon films were shot, and accommodates only 14 couples, convenient when the resort has 14 private beaches which can be reserved.

You can get a lobster dropped off to you on the beach, so it's no wonder the then-happy couple forked out more than $US2000 ($2120) a day on food and accommodation.

In keeping with tradition, the couple inscribed paving stones with their initials to commemorate their union and Britney indulged in traditional Lomi Lomi foot massages.

Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey also spent their honeymoon at Turtle Island resort.
When Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott tied the knot, they chose a private island in Fiji, barefoot and on the beach.

Julia Roberts has also been spotted in Fiji, and so has Bill Gates.

But the real red carpet resort of Fiji has to be the Wakaya Club & Spa, which has had more celeb visits than you can poke a palm frond at. Guests are housed in nine beachfront bures (Fijian cottages), with lava rock showers, bamboo beds, and a staff of 12 per couple.

For those willing to shell out $US7600 a night there's Vale O - the Wakaya's 1115-square-metre villa, or "royal suite", which offers panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, as well as a cliffside pool complete with spa and remote controlled waterfall.

A personal chef and chauffeur are thrown into the deal for good measure.

It's the spot where one day the music almost died when Rolling Stone Keith Richards fell out of a coconut tree and had to be fl own to a New Zealand hospital suffering concussion.

Jet Skis

If you are one of those adventurous types looking for something to play on for half an hour, or even to explore around the waters of Beqa Lagooon or the Qara Ni Qio River, hire a jet ski! There are two operations now running in Pacific Harbour. You will always find a jet ski or two parked outside Uprising Beach Resort ready for your enjoyment, on the jet ski or behind it on a wake board or skis!
There are tours that run around four hours with Jet Ski Safari; they take you out to cruise around Beqa Island and you can cruise along and see the breath taking sites of South coast of the Beqa Island, full of rocky outcrops and tropical jungle. Then you have the opportunity to have a swim and they will show you some of the most the sensational snorkelling spots.
After you have been amazed by the natural beauty of Beqa Lagoon, you will land on a small deserted island to have lunch. Then head back to Pacific Harbour! Click here for more information on Jet Ski Safari
