Description from the seller
GENERAL
An 1980 Citroën Méhari unit fully restored after having been rescued from a garage where it had remained inactive for many years. The vehicle has undergone a 100% comprehensive restoration process with the aim of returning it to its original vitality. The result is a legendary and endearing convertible, ready for its new owner to enjoy with complete confidence from the very first moment.
Bodywork and painting
The bodywork was completely dismantled to remedy any imperfections before being fully painted. It now has a superb shine and color, in a condition that requires no cosmetic attention. All the lights and headlamps of the body have been replaced with new components, enhancing its near-new appearance. The undercarriage is free of rust or rot, showing a completely solid condition in line with the work performed.
Mechanics
The mechanical section is in optimal condition after a thorough rebuild. The engine was dismantled and rebuilt in its entirety, as was the transmission, which now provides very smooth gear shifting. The entire electrical system has been renewed, replacing all cables and components. The original carburetor has also been refurbished, and both the braking system and the four tires are completely new, guaranteeing safe and reliable operation.
Interior
The cabin is in perfect condition thanks to a detailed restoration. The seats were removed to be professionally reupholstered, and new gauges and odometers have been installed. Other renovated details include the footboard, which has been replaced and repainted, as well as the door handles, which are also new. The interior breathes the freshness of a car that has just been finished.
Documentation
The vehicle will be delivered with all documents in order and a recently passed vehicle inspection (ITV), ensuring that the buyer does not have to carry out any immediate administrative procedures to put it on the road.
Pickup
Vehicle pickup will take place at the seller's location after the auction ends. Prospective buyers are advised to consult the transport logistics details once the lot has been awarded.
Other information
This beautiful Méhari represents an excellent opportunity to acquire an icon of French motor sports in concours condition. Having been restored from the chassis up to the last mechanical detail, it stands as an ideal piece for both leisure in coastal areas and for inclusion in a classic car collection.

Disclaimer
Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
