The Appeal
Known for its lightweight, utilitarian design, the Méhari has always symbolised freedom and adventure, as a popular “beach car” based upon the inimitable 2CV.
This particular example, having undergone such a meticulous restoration, including brand new body work and interior, is a rare find. It has also undergone a series of sensible upgrades like the new 602cc engine and new gearbox, fitted during the 1990s. As a 1975 model, which was the first to feature disc brakes, it’s one of the best driving Méhari’s you’re likely to find. The addition of a full winter roof, doors, and side panels make this Citroën a versatile vehicle for all seasons. Having covered a mere 648 km since the completion of te restoration, this is a unique opportunity to own a virtually brand-new 1975 Citroën Méhari, a classic that's ready to create new memories.
