Special Visitor – Citroen SM
Recently we were visited by a Citroen SM and it’s proud owners. The vehicle was on its first big ‘journey’ after 12 years of restoration. The vehicle is the ‘lovechild’ of a marriage between the refined French auto firm Citroen and the Italian supercar manufacturer Maserati. Citroen commissioned the design to compete in the prestigious GT racing circuit im the early 1970’s.
As you can see, the car is quite a sight to behold – a morphing of the regal Citroen Palais and the raw power of a Maserati. The real magic lies beneath the bonnet. This vehicle had the top of the range 3 lt Masserati engine surrounded by hydraulic systems that remain ’state of the art’ today. The car is believed to be the fastest fro
nt wheel production vehicle ever made and has (so I”m told) gravity defying suspension and ride.
Clearly a unique classic. Thankyou Donna and Marvin for sharing!.
