About the Citroen Mehari Eden Sorbet White and Pink Norev 1:18

TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Citroen Mehari in the white and pink Eden Sorbet livery reproduces the lightweight, plastic-bodied 1968 beach car built on Citroen 2CV underpinnings. A playful diecast piece for a retro leisure vehicle display rather than a serious classic-car anchor.

The Mehari was never meant to be taken too seriously, a doorless, roofless leisure car built for the beach rather than the boulevard, and this bright livery leans fully into that character.

Diecast Metal Standing In for a Plastic Original

There is a small irony in reproducing a plastic-bodied original in diecast metal, but the trade works well here: the Mehari's flat, simple body panels were designed for cheap ABS plastic tooling in period, and those same simple shapes are equally forgiving for diecast production today. The white and pink two-tone finish reads clearly against the car's boxy, upright stance, and the model's straightforward panel lines suit a car that never had complex surfacing to hide behind in the first place. Norev's licensed Citroen work tends to capture the Mehari's slightly toy-like charm honestly rather than over-dignifying it, which is the right instinct for a subject this playful. The absence of doors on the original vehicle also means a diecast version has less to fake, letting the cabin detail show through more openly than on a closed-body car.

A Beach Car With Real 2CV Roots

Built on the mechanical underpinnings of the humble 2CV, the Mehari launched in 1968 as Citroen's answer to a growing European appetite for cheap, fun, go-anywhere leisure vehicles, and it found particular favour in seaside towns and among French municipal and military users for its light weight and simplicity. It never competed with serious off-roaders on capability, and that was never the point. For a collector, the Mehari works best as a bright counterpoint in a French classics display, the deliberately unserious car sitting next to more conventional Citroen saloons, and this Eden Sorbet colourway leans into that lighthearted identity as much as any factory livery could.
