Citroën Méhari

Launched in 1968, the Méhari used the 2CV-derived Dyane engine and chassis, with a simple tubular frame clad in colourful plastic body panels.

 

Conceived as a recreational utility vehicle its light weight, soft suspension and simple ruggedness gave it go-anywhere abilities and it became a ubiquitous sight in vineyards, beach resorts and those sleepy, sunny villages I recall from holidays in Europe in the late ‘80s

 

Actually the perfect car to build from LEGO, as those plastic panels made from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, or ABS.
