The SM presented here is a carburettor version that was put into service in June 1971. Granada Red AC 426 and black leather interior. According to some studies, only 161 cars came out of the chains on the 1972 vintage in this shade. It was completely restored without sprain in 2014. The mechanics and the bodywork were restored by taking advantage of this disassembly to make the whole thing more reliable. For example, the famous chain tensioners have been redesigned, as have the valves. The original interior has been deliberately preserved because it is still in very good condition and shows a charming patina. Recently the electrical system was overhauled with the installation of a new alternator and the cooling system. The hydraulics will be back in shape in August 2017 with the replacement of the accumulator and rear coffee makers. Like a pilgrimage, and to ensure its good condition, the SM will take the road to Ferté Vidame last July. The trip from Valencia was a smooth one and the SM will be one of the most beautiful models on display. Our test will confirm the perfect mechanical condition of the car. Now on sale with a roadworthiness test of less than 6 months, this wonderful car will delight the connoisseur of Citroën.
