The Méhari was a plastic-body leisure vehicle based on the 2CV and Dyane, unveiled in May 1968. Citroën discreetly updated it several times. As described by Norev, this miniature car is a 1978 model year, with the redesigned front grille released in 1977. This colour, called “Kirghiz”, appeared on the 1969 model year and remained available until the Méhari was discontinued, in 1987.
