Hemmings Find of the Day – 1978 Citroen Mehari

Mechanically, this 1978 Citroen Mehari for sale on Hemmings.com looks to be just about brand new, following a complete down-to-the-frame restoration. Aesthetically, it’s been treated to some customization along a blue-and-white color scheme that shouldn’t detract from it in the least – after all, anybody unique and individualistic enough to go for a Mehari isn’t likely to complain about their Mehari not looking exactly like all the other Meharis out there. From the seller’s description:

This unusual Mehari was built in Spain. The car has received an in-depth, ground-up restoration by a marque specialist. A huge quantity 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. The engine top end was rebuilt, a new speedometer cable, engine mounts and a new clutch kit were installed. The original chassis and subframe were in perfect rust-free condition. They have been stripped to bare metal and repainted. This is a very fine Mehari indeed!
