About the Citroen Mehari Azur White Norev 1:18

TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Citroen Mehari Azur reproduces the 1983 plastic-bodied beach car in white, with opening doors. A lighthearted, distinctly French open-top model built for collectors seeking character over spec-sheet performance.

Few cars wear their eccentricity as openly as the Citroen Mehari, a car built from ABS plastic panels over a 2CV-derived chassis, designed for beaches and rough tracks rather than boulevards.

Norev's Diecast Approach to a Plastic Original

Norev renders the Mehari in metal diecast despite the real car's plastic bodywork, and the contrast is part of the model's appeal: a lightweight-looking shape given genuine shelf weight. The doors open, letting a collector see the simplified cabin the Mehari was known for, minimal upholstery and an open, airy layout that matched its beach-car brief. Norev's paint work holds the Azur white evenly across the model's flat plastic-style panels, and its diecast tolerances at this scale keep the shape crisp without the wider seams older tooling sometimes shows. It is a small, honest model of an unusual car, and that honesty is the point.

The Mehari as a French Design Curiosity

Citroen built the Mehari from 1968 into the early 1980s, targeting buyers who wanted something rugged, cheap, and easy to hose out after a day at the beach or on a farm. Its plastic panels resisted rust and dents in a way steel bodies could not, an unusual engineering choice that made the Mehari genuinely practical despite its toy-like appearance. That practicality, paired with an open-top, doorless-feeling cabin, made it a fixture of French coastal life through the 1970s and into this 1983 example.

Where the Mehari Fits a Collection

This Mehari works best as a change of pace on a shelf otherwise built around performance sedans or racing liveries, a reminder that not every collectible car needs to be fast to be interesting. It pairs naturally with other Citroen models, particularly the 2CV it shares mechanical roots with, or with a broader theme of quirky European open-air cars. Its small footprint and light color make it an easy piece to slot into a crowded display without overwhelming its neighbors.
