It was on 16 May 1968, 55 years ago, at the heart of the French student protest movement, that Citroën revealed its new vehicle at the Deauville golf course: the Mehari. An atypical pick-up offering from 28 to 32 hp, with an ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) plastic body, designed by Roland de La Poype. Built on a Dyane 6 platform, it was presented with the name of Dyane 6 Mehari on his release. Produced for almost 20 years between 1968 and 1987, 144,953 units were built (including 1,213 4x4 Mehari), making a surprising success for this unusual vehicle. The Mehari was produced, for the most part of it, in the Citroën factory in Forest, Belgium, but also in seven other factories in France, Spain and Portugal.
