Produced for 20 years between 1968 and 1988, the Citroen Mehari is a fun, lightweight recreational vehicle that is popularly used in coastal environments. Originally available in two-wheel drive (and later four-wheel drive), the Mehari weighs just 535kg and is powered by a tiny 602cc flat-two petrol engine that is shared with the 2CV6, Dyane and Ami. A four-speed dog-leg gearbox adds to the fun nature of the vehicle and pairs well with the engine. The Mehari was mechanically very simple and it remained largely unchanged for most of its life. Minor changes included vinyl doors being fitted in 1970 (with an optional vinyl roof) and a slight stylistic update in 1978.

This 1973 Mehari is a fully restored example which is presented in a beautiful Kirghiz orange colour scheme. With a restoration carried out in 2013 by The 2CV Shop in Warminster, the paintwork, bodywork and interior all present well and are in a very good condition. This model is also fitted with the optional vinyl roof which adds to its year round usability, rear seats, a tow bar and a fitted dust cover. This is a fun and unique vehicle that's ideal for use as a summer run-around.
