Autosport of the 13th December 1963 contains a report on the event by Colin Taylor, and includes the photo of Jim Clark in the 'Twini' Moke.

"Introducing the Mini-Moke, our first twin-engined car, designed by Alec Issigonis who gave us the Mini. The Moke has an engine at the back as well as the front. Both engines have their own gear lever but are controlled by the same accelerator and clutch. Its performance is quite something: 72 bhp gives a top speed around 75 miles-an-hour."

"Both engines have their own gear lever" How did you change gear? One engine at a time?

Both gear changers were linked together straight out of both boxes and connected to one lever ...
