Paul's European 1974 Citroen SM, A Remarkable Car!

The Citroen was always years ahead of the rest of the world. The SM combined their innovation with the heart of a Maserati with interesting results.

Waiting to win the lotto....to buy one ! We can dream.....

[@carshowreporter]

These exotic Citroen do not sell for crazy money ... yet!!! Now, maintenance is another matter! Good luck on the lottery and, when you win, please take me for a ride!!!

European model of SM much more beautiful than the USA model.

[@carshowreporter]

Yes, and the lighting system not only looks better, but is far superior, too. Thanks for commenting and watching my videos, Jose!

[@josecarvalho9388]

@@carshowreporter It's a pleasure to seuu such a french beautiful car in USA, i believe it's a rare model there?

[@carshowreporter]

@@josecarvalho9388 Yes it is. They were expensive and parts and mechanics for both the Citroen systems and the Maserati motor are hard to find in the States.

[@ernestoclara4612]

Ah, yes... my dream car - with the European headlights. If I only had a "garagiste" to take good care of one for me. Comment: the audio mentioned that the Maserati "equivalent" was the Bora... I beg to disagree. The Bora had a V8 motor of the same configuration, but it was the Merak that had the same V6 motor. Oh what a sound!

[@carshowreporter]

Thanks for the correction, Ernesto!!!! I hope you win the lottery so you can hire a garagiste and buy an SM!

[@chucku00]

Wish you can find a Régembeau version.

[@carshowreporter]

I had to " google " Regembeau. Very interesting!!!! You just educated me about a very unusual SM variant!! Thank you, or, should I say, merci!

[@chucku00]

@@carshowreporter Régembeau's son is still working on his father masterpieces in Crêches-sur-Saône. Hope you can also review a Jerry Hathaway version.

The citreon sm and the citreon c6 are my favourite citreons. Have a good day everyone 👍🏻🍀

[@carshowreporter]

Great taste, li0n heart 05!! My two favorites are the SM, of course ( manual transmission, please ) and the DS21 Chapron. Thanks for commenting, and enjoy your day!!!!

[@silkdestroyer]

Apologies if I've missed a post pointing this out, but it was the Maserati Merak that that got the SM engine and box.

[@carshowreporter]

Thanks for the important point, silkdestroyer.

[@briefman49]

Was he surprised with your knowledge of the car? I agree with Dave, that I think I have only seen pics of these in gold, was glad you added the link to another color. I think that in the movie with Burt Reynolds, "The Longest Yard" that they referred to the car as a Maserati (I could be wrong with the movie title).

[@carshowreporter]

Great memory, briefman49!! That was a painful clip, as he had the suspension set on high most of the time... and the end!!!! Ouch!!!!! Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKu2YoaAnbaGorM

[@carshowreporter]

One of my favorites, too, A person! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@blxtothis]

A DS21 and an SM, I’m jealous, 2 of my dream cars.

[@carshowreporter]

Know it well, bixtothis!! As long as we are dreaming, add the Chapron convertible, too! You will definitely like this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3WkeoCafpeBndU Viva Citroen!!
