I loved these as a boy growing up in England (I was born in 1965). I remember having two 1:43 Corgi models (in lime green and a pinkish / purple colour). SMs just seemed so other worldly, not traditionally pretty but, to me, so striking especially from the rear.

[@tasospappas6627]

Not only. It may means or Sporting Maserati, or Sa Majeste. Citroen hasn't told us what SM means so we aren't sure about it. I thiink that Sa Majeste is better because of DS (DS=Deese=Goddess).

[@Polorigolo35]

The S was the nickname of the project for "Sport" because the goal was to make a sportier DS. When they decided to put a Maserati engine in it, they added the M, so it's "Sport Maserati"

yep sound realy good, but that engine had a terrible reliability who kill the SM...

[@fennycartwright1280]

have driven a CX 2000 pallas for years. Floting experience , comfort, speed and insensibility to sidewind but a strong understeering: the car loves to go straight on most. Repairs were difficult though. Especially the hydrolics were a complicated item and when one of the rilsan high pressure oilconducts failed you lost all of the hydrolics , you got a big red light in the middel of the dashboard and had just enough time to stop the car with the remaining pressure in the suspention balls generated by the weight of the car. And then the difficult and costly repair begun! But it was a unique experience even though it was a 4 cylinderengine no injection and only 109 hp.

[@leneanderthalien]

i drive long time the same type of CX2000 and had never hydraulic problems ,with standard maintainance..., and the safety presure is not with "the weight from the car" but with 2 accus spheres: one for the main hydraulic, the other for the brakes...

[@peterthomas2309]

My Dad had a DSuper5 and a SM , same problems with hydraulic system like with the SM, but!! that was our beloved car for many years because of extraordinary comfort . At least he sold the SM because it was too loud and the DS was better for travelling with three children :)

[@algrayson8965]

Rilsan (competitor brand of Nylon) tubes are leak returns. No significant pressure. Any external leak would gradually drain the hydraulic system. No back-up main braking. Power brakes or nothing but the handbrake (and downshifting). If the big red “STOP” light comes on, it means pull off the road and stop! Now! The fastest leak would be if the ¼” steel pipe from the pump to the main click-clack valve cracked. Had it happen on an ID21FH. Hydraulic oil sprayed all over the engine compartment. Next worst is the rubber hose recirculating oil to the reservoir from the click-clack valve. Low pressure but the oil pours out rapidly. In a hydraulique shift car if the hydraulic oil is lost the transaxle defaults to neutral. Can't limp home. The SM Automatique Borg-Warner T35 slushbox is a conventional torque converter automatic. They developed a reputation for stripping the planetary gear cluster. SAAB 99 had an upgrade with a stronger planetary cluster. I don't know if it would retrofit to the Citroën box.

[@algrayson8965]

@@leneanderthalien - The brake accumulator supplies the front brakes only. The rear brake pressure is from the rear suspension.

The French made beautiful cars but they break easily and they only performed well in European streets and highways. The export to other parts of the world such as Africa, Aisa and the Americas did not succeed because they did not take into their consideration that terrain and climate in these places is very different than in Europe or maybe they new but they didn't care much.

[@benjamincharlin6770]

You wouldn't see any sm in Africa at the time, too expensive, you could have a Mercedes Benz for half the price, but French car was and are very successful in Africa, Asia like a lot French manufacturers, citroën are a best seller in China, the only problem was America tho, not the south America because France still sell car there, but in North America, first of all the price, since the car was made in France and exported in the USA, they are very expensive, also very hard to fix, (actually the French car, especially citroën and peugeot are known for being easy to repair, but like the parts came from Europe, very expensive) also the law, French car wouldn't fit in the American law, also rascim, usa hates France, for no reason, and this where the rumor of French car are unreliable came from and this is very odd, because at the time, some American brands car where French, jeep and AMC was Renault, actually the hummer, is a Renault, but to be fair american people find one advantage in the French car, they are economic on a long period, low fuel consumption, at the time the best NYC taxi was a Peugeot 504, followed by a Peugeot 505 Tldr, the French have pros and cons, but they are actual practical, economical, and with very wide range of variety, you look for cheap sports car look no further then a secma F16 turbo, if you are looking for a comfortable ride look for any citroën sedan, and if you are looking for a flying motorbike powered by a Maserati V8 then look for the lazareth 496
