Always liked these, they are from the future...
...no way I'd own one other than as a toy for a millionaire.

The SM just captures the era and the mix of Italian and French influences - love it

I am with the pair of you - horrid car - looks like a spaceship and that's where it belongs, launched into space.
But I can see why people want one, its just not for me.

Frank I'll ask my old man but think its unlikely as he has not got many photos of his wedding let alone cars. It was a class motor very quick and uber smooth ride. I understand the negative posts but when your 6 years old and your dad picks you up from school in one
of those when everyone else gets a ride home in a humber or Morris minor you know it's a good day! Just shown him the picture and he said " best car I ever had son" don't often see an 86 year old's eyes glint like a boy racer! Made his day.

Yep mate even thought of going for it! I know must be mad especially when I already have an xm 30 sei half finished....... It was his last car I have had it for 16 years still starts first time although it needs a hydraulic pump belt so not moved for two years. Always remember the day he came home in the replacement Jag I was by then 9 and thought good grief what have you done.... LOL.

Madness is good.........................people will only be talking about the XM in the 2040s...........they'll talk about the SM....NOW!
Providing usual stuff has been put right, and doesn't need bodywork done, the hydraulics are very similar to DS........piece of PI55!

Though for a grand more after a bit of haggling plus euro difference, I'd go for this baby

The thing is you have to appreciate all era's. The Citroen Years were limited in duration but you could argue they saved them from going to the wall and that this SM where Maserati was even named on the cam covers was a blessing. The Bora also came out of the partnership.
