About the Citroen Mehari 4x2 Orange Norev 1:18

TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Citroen Mehari 4x2 in Orange reproduces the plastic-bodied French beach car built on 2CV mechanicals from 1970. Lightweight, open-top, and unmistakably French, it's a color-forward, honest addition to a Citroen or open-top classics display.

Few cars wear a single color as well as the Mehari wears Orange, a shade that matches the original's cheerful, low-stakes design brief almost perfectly.

Translating an ABS-Bodied Original Into Diecast

The real Mehari used molded ABS plastic panels instead of steel, a genuinely unusual choice for a mainstream production car and one that made it dent-resistant and rust-proof by design. Norev's diecast version can't reproduce that plastic body directly, but the flat, simple panel surfaces the Mehari's original design allowed translate cleanly into a metal casting, since there's little compound curvature to fight. Orange paint sits evenly across those flat sides, and the model's open-top, doorless-feeling cabin structure comes through with the simple bench-seat detailing the real car was known for. At 1:18 the Mehari's compact footprint, shorter and narrower than most open-top classics in the catalog, gives it a distinct silhouette that stands out immediately next to taller, more conventional convertibles on the same shelf.

A 2CV-Based Runabout With Its Own Cult Following

Built on the 2CV's chassis and engine, the Mehari was Citroen's stripped-down, go-anywhere runabout aimed at beach towns and rural use rather than highway comfort. That utilitarian brief gave it lasting appeal in coastal France, where it became something of a fixture, and later a cult object for collectors drawn to its complete lack of pretension. Norev, as a French manufacturer with deep coverage of Citroen's back catalog, treats the Mehari as a legitimate subject rather than a novelty afterthought, and the honest, simple execution here matches the car's own honest, simple engineering. It works best paired with other Citroen classics from the same era, where its bright color and odd shape provide contrast against the DS and CX's more serious design language.
