Highlights: – 603 cc air-cooled flat-twin engine, petrol, 4-speed manual transmission – Lightweight ABS plastic body in white, with a red soft top – Red and white upholstered seats – Restored, according to the seller – Open cabriolet body with fold-down windscreen The private seller offers for sale this 1974 Citroën Méhari, powered by a 603 cc air-cooled flat-twin engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. The Méhari is one of the most recognisable leisure vehicles of the 1960s and 1970s, a cheerful and unconventional car that continues to attract enthusiasts. Introduced by Citroën in 1968 and based on the mechanical platform of the 2CV, the Méhari was built with a lightweight body made from ABS plastic, which does not corrode. Its name refers to the swift dromedary camel of the Sahara. It was designed for farm and utility use as well as for beach holidays, with a folding canvas top, a fold-down windscreen and an easy-to-clean interior. Production continued until 1987, and the model gained a loyal following in France and around the Mediterranean. This example is finished in white with a red soft top and matching red and white seats, and the seller reports that the vehicle has been restored. The photos show a neat, clean presentation with red trim and a clear plastic rear window. With its air-cooled twin, simple mechanics and open character, the Méhari offers uncomplicated enjoyment and is well suited to summer drives. Condition of the bodywork & paint 4 — Very Good.
