In 1996 I could buy 2 Citroen MEHARI.
N° 1 was a 1974 with a very bad body, but a very good chassis ;
N° 2 was a 1978 with good plastic and a reasonable subframe .
Unfortunately I forgot to make pictures of the cars like they
arrived in my yard, I immediately started to break them down.

so I have to start these pages with SOME NUDISM

Citroen MEHARI A lot of new parts welded in, so it's O.K. for another 20 years

That's how the car looked like in the spring of 1997
