Norev's 1:18 diecast Citroen Mehari Plage comes finished in bright yellow, its doors opening onto the Mehari's minimal, functional cabin. This plastic-bodied French beach car has become a cult classic for its lightweight, cheerful design. A characterful addition to a leisure vehicle or French classic display.
TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Citroen Mehari Plage in yellow opens its doors onto a stripped, functional cabin. The Mehari's ABS plastic body and open design made it a summer fixture across coastal France, and this bright finish captures that cheerful character.
Bright yellow suits the Mehari's playful, no-nonsense personality better than almost any other colour Citroen offered it in.
Metal Casting of a Plastic-Bodied Original
The real Mehari used a plastic body precisely because it resisted corrosion in salty coastal air, and Norev's zinc alloy diecast reinterprets that flat-panelled shape in metal, holding the boxy wheel arches and folded edges with more permanence than the original plastic ever managed. The doors open onto the sparse cabin, bench seating and simple dash rendered without unnecessary embellishment, staying true to a car built for utility rather than luxury. The yellow finish is applied with an even, practical gloss rather than a deep showroom lacquer, matching the Mehari's original character, and the model's compact footprint keeps it easy to place even in a tightly packed display.
The Mehari's Cult Status in French Motoring
Produced from the late 1960s into the 1980s, the Mehari became inseparable from French beach and countryside life, prized for its light weight, low running costs and cheerful informality rather than any performance credentials. Its continued presence at classic car gatherings across France decades after production ended speaks to genuine affection rather than nostalgia alone. Alongside other Citroen models or period leisure vehicles, this yellow Plage brings colour and character to a shelf, and its accessible pricing makes it an easy companion piece to costlier classics.
