The Citroën SM was launched in March 1970. It was powered by a 2,670 cm3 90° V6 engine with three Weber twin-barrel carburettors and 170 bhp DIN. Torque was 23.5 mkg at 4,000 rpm. This engine, with two overhead camshafts per row of cylinders, was developed directly by Maserati's Alfieri engineer under the direction of the design office on rue du Théâtre, in the Quai de Javel district of Paris.
Our SM was the 761st to be built, so it was a carburetted version.
Presented in the beautiful shade Bleu des tropiques, this SM has been mechanically overhauled in recent years. In 2015, the spheres were rebuilt and the clutch replaced. In 2021, following an engine failure, another engine rebuilt by specialist SM2A was installed. The HP pump was replaced, and the brakes and electrical system were overhauled. The paintwork was redone in 2014. However, following a parking accident, the left-hand side of the body needs to be revised. The original upholstery could do with a refresh.
