Miniature CITROËN Mehari 3-INCH

How could we forget the simplicity and distinctive style of the Citroën Mehari? Initially intended as a utility vehicle, it ended up as an open-top car designed for leisure activities, family outings and trips to the beach.

Fun fact: ‘Mehari’ is the name of a type of fast-running camel. Straight out of the Sahara, it reflects how the names of different colour options (save for the blue) relate to deserts from around the world: Hopi Red, Tibesti Green, Montana Green, Kirghiz Orange, Kalahari Beige, Hoggar Beige and Atacama Yellow. Louis de Funès drove a Montana Green Mehari as Ludovic Cruchot in the film ‘The Gendarme and The Gendarmettes’, and a Tibesti Green Mehari in ‘The Gendarme and the Extra-Terrestrials’.

Here we have various 3-inch miniature versions of the Citroën Mehari for you to check out, in Kirghiz Orange, Atacama Yellow and turquoise blue (blue was not one of the colour options originally offered).
