Combining the adventurous, avant-garde spirit of French automotive design with the dramatic flair of an exotic, thoroughbred Italian engine, Citroën’s SM is a car unlike any other. Graceful and enigmatic, this extraordinary machine’s otherworldly mystique remains undiminished more than half a century since its introduction to the world.

A highly attractive, driver-quality example finished in gorgeous colors and equipped with a five-speed gearbox, this is an ideally specified SM. Representing an optimal blend of specification and originality, this SM’s allure is further enhanced by its rare fuel injection, an option fitted to only approximately 27% of the SM’s total production run. As a European-market car, its nose is another highlight, preserving visionary stylist Robert Opron’s original design with glass-covered headlights that swivel to illuminate around corners.

The current owner, a Citroën enthusiast who has some of the marque’s most desirable models, acquired the SM in 2016 and has driven it more than 2,000 miles. Accompanied by service records dating back to 2016, the Citroën benefits from work carried out to its oleo-pneumatic suspension system, as well as its braking, cooling, electrical, and exhaust systems. The work within the last five years was completed by a Citroën expert at R&R Automotive Restorations in New York. This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire the ultimate-specification SM and a charismatic 1970s design icon.
