I am interested in buying a Citroen Mehari that I have seen on someones extremely overgrown driveway.
I walk past the house every day on my way to work. I think that the owner passed away quite a few years ago and the son has slowly been emptying & tidying up the house. There were four cars on the drive: a high top T25 camper which was MOT'd and sold and a Citroen 2cv, Citroen Mehari and a Chevrolet pickup.
From what I can see the Mehari doesn't loot too bad but it feels like the place where the owner bought cars to fix them and never got round to it or owned cars and when they went wrong just kept them.
I think the son would be willing to sell the car as he has already sold off the camper but have no idea what it's worth as I can only find very good or restored examples from about 7k - up to 15k. I think rust is a bit of an issue for these as the ABS plastic body can look quite good but underneath the framework needs a lot of work.
