About This Item
This is a brand new 1/18 scale diecast model of the 1970 Citroen Mehari MK.1 in Vert Montana Green, produced by Solido. The model comes in its original unopened box and features real rubber tires, steerable wheels, and opening doors. It has detailed interior and exterior elements, capturing the unique design of the original vehicle. Made of diecast metal with some plastic parts, the model measures approximately 7.5 inches in length, 3.625 inches in width, and 3 inches in height. The Mehari is a “leisure” vehicle based on the mechanics of the 2CV and is known for its ABS plastic bodywork. Its design is attributed to Roland de La Poype, a French fighter pilot during the Second World War, and more than 140,000 units of this model were produced between 1968 and 1987. The original Mehari has appeared in numerous films and series, including the popular “Gendarmes” franchise.
