Citroën Méhari: books - history and models

Citroën Méhari

Produced from 1968 to 1987, the Citroën Méhari is an iconic car of the 1960s and 1970s. Among the many fun car derivatives of that era, it was the only one to achieve major commercial success, with nearly 150.000 units built.

Light and versatile, the Méhari is still appreciated today and can be fully restored using new parts. Its plastic body makes it perfect for beach outings or countryside drives.

A rare 4x4 version was produced in limited numbers and is highly sought after today. The French army also used the Méhari as a liaison vehicle, benefiting from its low cost and 2CV-based design.

The book "Citroën Méhari" by François Allain is part of the richly illustrated "Icônes" collection and features rare and unpublished documents.

La Citroën Méhari de mon père

Leisure vehicle, fun car, collector's item, the Méhari is a unique case in the history of the French automobile. It can do everything, and it has done so for more than five decades: the countryside, the beach, the mountains, and even the desert! Because this funny car is similar to the dromedary (from which it takes its name): sober and resistant.
But it can also be a chameleon, sometimes playful, sometimes a utility vehicle; dressed in its different colors, it has been able to seduce since its entry into the world, in the middle of May... 1968!
