Description
'- Rare origin
– Only 53.100 miles from new
– Iconic car from the 1970s
This Citroën SM was sold new in 1974, in Long Beach (California), USA, by the Kendon Porsche Audi garage, located in Wilmington. As stated in the maintenance booklet supplied with the car, it was used regularly until 1980. It was then discovered by a Dutch collector who had it shipped to his country in 1996 and barely used the car. Richard Reinders bought it in 2013 and only covered 500 km, so the gauge now reads 53.100 miles (85.500 km).
This car has the distinction of being in excellent original condition. The white body is in good used condition. Inside, the mustard velvet seats, in a quintessential 1970s hue, are barely wrinkled and the carpets show only discreet signs of wear. The oval single-spoke steering wheel, which reflects the shape of the gauges, is in good condition. This is a manual transmission version, which is not common on cars sold on the other side of the Atlantic.
Never restored, it is a beautiful example that is sure to bring the enviable and unparalleled combination of comfort and sportiness that characterized this iconic model.
