This particular Mehari is a unique four-seater example, ensuring holiday fun for the whole family! Fast forward to January 14, 1988, when the Mehari was handed over to its next proud owner, fellow Belgian Alex, who took exceptional care of it. On May 3, 2023, the torch was passed to its latest enthusiast, who embraced the joy of cruising along the stunning dunes of Knokke-Heist.


This Méhari’s green paint is in fantastic, original condition - after all, with a body made of ABS plastic, rust is just a myth! Even though the interior is the literal definition of spartan, this car actually has leather seats, which, of course, are free of any scratches or cuts!

The Mehari’s party piece, it’s black fabric top with plastic windows, are as good as new and free of any faults.

You'll also receive Part 1 and Part 2 of the registration certificates from its last owner, ensuring a seamless transition as you become the latest steward of this iconic ride.


Starting the engine evokes a moment of uncertainty until you give the throttle a gentle poke. Suddenly, the charming purr of this little classic comes to life, chugging away without any hiccups!
