Description of 1972 Citroën AX Mehari |
1972 CITROEN MEHARI Unique, Rare, Collectable, Super FUN Vehicle. Excellent Condition, Runs Great ( please note this is not an "AX" - Ebay inserts that designation for Citroen listings) A rare and special motorcar with unique character and abilities, this all-original Citroen Mehari was recently imported to the US from Italy. Original owner was an elderly lady that only drove the car during the summer at her private residence on the shores of Lake Garda. (no kidding!) This lucky car has lived there all its life. Always garaged and driven only during sunny days. Actual mileage is under 20K miles (31,399 Kilometers on Odo). Overall condition is very good cosmetically, excellent mechanically. A full mechanical inspection, service and tune up was completed recently prior to embarking for the US. This is in addition to the conservative cosmetic restoration done in Italy. All work performed by a well known and well regarded Citroen Mehari specialist. This car is ready to enjoy. The car has been professional maintained for its entire life, shows nicely with no faults or cracks in the bodywork, nor visible rust to the chassis.Starts, runs and drives very well. Odometer shows 19.5K miles, believed original, and the extremely simple 2CV engine is noted for longevity.Features front wheel drive and a 4-speed manual transmission. The canvas top and side panels are new, as are the tires. The wheels have recently been powder coated in the factory color and fitted with new tires. The wooden interior panels have been replaced recently and sealed with marine varnish. The durable vinyl upholstery is in fine shape. The ABS plastic body features molded in color in a striking orange hue (factory original), all trim and lenses are in good order, panels are straight and undamaged, with only a few minor scuffs. The body is in excellent condition. Chrome and brightwork in good shape, some minor corrosion is visible on some fasteners. Overall condition is quite good and very presentable in all regards. The Mehari offers many configurations : top with sidecurtains, surrey top only, open bed or rear seat fitted, windshield on or off. Really useful layout options. The perfect promotional vehicle for resort or winery use. A rare opportunity to own one of the most "fun" vehicles ever built. Offered at $24,495 ... willing to consider reasonable offers. Current California registration and title. CA smog exempt. Car is currently garaged in San Francisco, willing to arrange shipping to any US Location. >>>>>>>>>>> CITROEN MÉHARI Background |
