Description

Citroën Meharì from 1976, this beautiful Citroën Spiaggina is a rare first series that can be recognised by its small dashboard and the most beautiful squared-off grille. It was delivered new in Italy.

The car body is still Citroën original, with some signs of age that are normal in these cars with resin bodywork. It was never fully restored and was used, the last owner had it since 1989. In addition, it is equipped with the extra rear bench that makes it 4 seats, and it is approved for 4 people on the registration document; it has fold-down windscreen.

Very rare tow hook which is regularly approved on the registration certificate and a trailer with small plate, chassis number and original certificate of conformity to which the original side panels of a Mehari were applied, keeping the dimensions and internal bulkheads and chassis unchanged to match the factory size (as shown in photos).

The engine has the original code, corresponding to the registration certificate, AK2.

Restoration work and spare parts were recently installed on the car, documented with relevant photos and invoices:
- Complete restoration of the trailer in the car colour;
- 6 new whitewall tyres;
- New complete soft top kit with side windows;
- New seat and bench kit and wheel covers;
- Custom-made natural carpet mat kit;
- New silencer;
- New battery;
- Overhauled brakes with new cylinders;
- New chrome hubcap kit, new lights, and more new details in the mechanics and bodywork;
and a mechanical service.

The car starts immediately and runs well, very fun to drive, the technical inspection was passed in June 2022 and is valid until June 2024. However, it is a direct purchase from the previous owner, therefore some normal, basic maintenance work may be needed at the discretion of the new buyer.
