1978 Citroën for sale
Current customer rating:

This is a factory original build car. It is using the running gear of the famous Citroen 2 CV.
This Citroen Mehari underwent a ground up restoration in 2015 and then was only driven 900+ miles and never on the beach.
A lot of new parts were used. such as (but not limited to): complete new body shell. interior. seat tracks. seat belts. steering wheel. light fixtures. hood hardware. hinges and handles. windshield wiper arms and blades. windshield washer hardware. roof and roof frame. tires. wiring harness. the entire brake system. the aluminum folding windshield and all hardware. battery. ignition lock. exhaust system. oil cooler and breather. all new shocks and rebuild front axles. The engine top end was rebuilt. a new speedometer cable. engine mounts and a new clutch kit were installed. Electronic ignition for better performance. The original chassis and sub frame were in perfect e condition. They have been stripped to bare metal and repainted. Picture included. Also have a brand new set of all the windows to close up the car. Never used. never in rain.
It is a great car and has enough power to keep with road traffic.
Méharis are a true expression of the sense of freedom we enjoyed
the 1960 s and 70 s. and this excellent example none more so.
The perfect way to enjoy the
summer! Almost certainly inspired by BMC's Mini Moke. the Citroën Méhari
first appeared in prototype form in 1967 and like its British counterpart was based on a
standard production car. In the Citroën's case it was a version of the inimitable 2 CV. so the Méhari
featured the latter's air-cooled 602 cc twin-cylinder engine driving the front wheels. The open body
was made of ABS plastic and. like the Moke. a detachable soft-top and side screens served as weather
protection. Taking its name from a type of Camel known for its speed. the
Méhari was launched at the Paris Auto Show in October 1968 and would remain in the range for the
next 20 years. only disappearing
when 2 CV production ceased in
France in 1988. by which time a
total of 144. 53 had been made.
