CITROËN MEHARI

Brand : Citroën Model : Mehari Date of registration : 1980 Mileage : 4 718 km (original) The model - It all began in 1963 in Abidjan with the appearance of the Citroën "Baby Brousse", which was in fact a clever mix of the 2CV, Dyane, Ami 6 and the Type H. The idea was to create an economical and easy to manufacture "Jeep". After a first prototype designed by a French restaurant owner in Côte d'Ivoire, 30,000 of the "Baby Brousse" were produced in Abidjan in 1963. - Citroën seized on this idea and perfected the initial concept. Launched in 1968, the Mehari is a UFO in the range and creates a new segment. Its powertrain was taken from the Dyane 6, with its platform and its economical and robust 602cc flat-twin engine. Its bodywork is made of ABS plastic, which gives it a great advantage: it does not rust. It can be washed with a jet, which makes it one of the best outdoor cars. - The Mehari is a car for leisure, outdoor activities and family rides. By folding down the optional rear seat, it becomes a two-seater for utility use. The four-seat model cost about 5 to 10 percent more - Most of the mechanical elements, including the 602cc engine, were taken from the Dyane 6. The 28-horsepower air-cooled twin-cylinder engine can tow the 525 kilos of the vehicle as well as 400 kilograms of payload, proof if any were needed that the Mehari can be as much a pleasure car as an efficient utility vehicle.
