Hello,
summer.

A 1968 icon, hand-restored in Florida and reborn fully electric — for slow drives, salt air, and sunburnt afternoons.

FIG. 01 · JANE BIRKIN · C. 1970 · AN ICON WITH AN ICON

Some cars are built for speed. This one is built for sundown.

The Méhari was never about horsepower. It was about being somewhere lovely, slowly, with the people you like, the wind in your hair and the roof rolled down to nothing.

VIMS sources every donor car from European archives, then strips it to the chassis. We replace the air-cooled flat-twin with a quiet electric drivetrain, refinish every panel by hand, and ship the result to your driveway in Miami, Montauk or Malibu — ready to disappear down a coast road at 55 mph.

Pick your summer.

A palette of fifteen-plus period-correct shades — and any custom colour on commission. Every Méhari is finished to order, no two alike.

The only car Brigitte Bardot, the gendarmerie and a Riviera heiress could all agree on. We just gave it a quieter heart.

Chapter III · The Power

Plug in.
Pour a coffee.
Drive all day.

A standard Level 2 home charger fills the battery overnight. A Level 1 wall outlet works too — slowly, the way the rest of this car does.
