Quirky And Noisy: Citroen Mehari [Throwback Review]

Hello guys, welcome back to Car Obsession, and welcome back to another 'Throwback Review', the series where I drive cars from yesteryear. This time, it's the very green and very quirky (and rather noisy) Citroen Mehari, a compact SUV based on the 2CV and the Dyane.
I was lucky enough to have a quick spin in this car which was provided by Citroen at a drive event thanks to a willing (and brave) owner named Paul. I didn't get much time in the car as there were quite a few people who also wanted to drive it, but I hope this video gives you enough information on what the car is like.

This was my first car. A 1974 Olive green 2 door version in mint condition. Living in Copenhagen back then and it was as perfect for the city as for the country side. In the city you get more attention (smiles and thumbs up) than if you were driving a Porsche.

First car? Fair play!

[@DJW1981]

I first saw these on holiday in Majorca as a kid 30 years ago. Then GTA V reminded me of them 😂

[@CarObsession]

They're rather quirky, aren't they?! Thanks for watching.

Ho avuto una Mehary per 25 anni, è un'auto generosissima, divertente da guidare, economica e tuttofare...un vero gioiello..

[@CarObsession]

L'hai avuto per 25 anni? Scommetto che sei diventato sordo! Sto scherzando, sono sicuro che deve essere stata una proprietà interessante! Grazie per la visione!
English: You had it for 25 years? I've bet you gone deaf! Just kidding, I'm sure it must have been an interesting ownership! Thanks for watching!

[@slapheadone1]

Cool car, love your take on it looked so much fun to drive. Very jealous 😄

[@CarObsession]

Cheers John, thanks for the feedback, and thanks for watching

[@slapheadone1]

Car Obsession thanks Aaron I know your time is limited, so your reply is appreciated 👌

[@CarObsession]

@@slapheadone1 No worries John, thanks for taking your time to watch the video

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Has Car Obsession suddenly become a tribute to Ian Seabrook's HubNut channel? If so, both he and I would be even more pleased... Seriously, though, thanks very much indeed for this video, Aaron, it was a lovely surprise!

[@CarObsession]

I must confess, I've never seen the channel but I know of it. This was a kind of spur of the moment thing when I was at an event yesterday 👍🏽 Thanks for watching.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

@@CarObsession, I thought that you may have been at Millbrook yesterday, as I recognised the track. Yes, Ian has owned a 2CV for 19 years and recently reviewed an electrified classic Mehari in the same colour as the one you drove. You chose well to pick this!

[@chucklachance]

Back in 1970, we had three of these.

[@Birmingham_racing]

Not what I ever expected to see on here

[@CarObsession]

Haha, I like to shake it up a little bit where possible!

[@Birmingham_racing]

Shaked it soo much I nearly feel off my chair

[@CarObsession]

@@Birmingham_racing 😂😂😂

[@geokkito]

Please, tell me you didnt put on first gear while the car was moving... Otherwise you were lucky you didnt smashed the gearbox...

[@CarObsession]

I honestly can't remember, this was filmed over 3 years ago 😅. All I know is that the car was still working when I gave it back 🤷‍♂. Thanks for watching.

[@seasonedtoker]

I bet the camel it was based on was faster than this car

[@CarObsession]

It's probably easier to operate as well! Thanks for watching.

[@jess606606]

shift gear 🙂

[@CarObsession]

Hi Jess, thanks for watching, and thanks for the comment.

[@dcfa71]

Please don't call it an SUV

[@CarObsession]

Hi Digby, thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback.

[@alisterbaker-lowe]
