For Sale: 1974 Citroen Mehari in Tempe, Arizona

The Citroen Mehari is a utility car and off-roader produced by the French automaker Citroen. 144,953 Meharis were built between 1968 and 1988. A Mehari is a type of fast-running dromedary camel, which can be used for racing or transport. A Mehariste was a French Armee d'Afrique and Army of the Levant cavalryman that used these camels.

The Mehari was based on the Citroen Dyane 6, and had a body made of ABS plastic with a soft-top. It also employed the 602 cc flat twin gasoline engine shared with the 2CV6 and Citroen Ami. A four-wheel drive version of the Mehari was produced from 1980 to 1983 and had excellent off-road qualities, due to the lightness of the vehicle (the standard Mehari weighs just 570 kg (1,257 lb)) and the interconnected fully independent long travel 2CV suspension used by all of the Citroen 'A-Series'
