1973 Cirtroen SM

From a period of time where car design had few rules 

 

1973 CITROËN SM MASERATI

High-Pressure Hydraulic Suspension and Brakes

Production Years

1969-1975

Country

France

Number Produced

12, 920

Engineer

Robert Opron

 

After 6 years of production (1969-1975) only 12,920 SM’s had been built, and unsurprisingly, there was no replacement. Citroen was never one to follow conventional wisdom and powered this beautiful GT with a Maserati 2.7 Liter, 4 cam Aluminum V6 engine and the Citroen 5-speed gate controlled manual transmission. The SM has Citroen’s driver adjustable hydro-pneumatic suspension, which also powers the inboard front disc brakes, and the DIRAVI Adaptive, speed sensitive, self centering power steering. The unmatched style, engineering and driving experience earned the SM the 1972 Motor Trend Car of the Year. The Maserati derived 60 degree V6 was an engineering marvel, though prone to timing chain problems. The top speed was reported to be 137 mph.

90 Defender has always been a dream car.  I would love one of these to putt around the burbs and the beach with the dog and Di (not in that order). 

This Churchill LE series caomes with a stonking V8. Perfect! 

Price....not so perfect 

This is the Land Rover Defender V8 Churchill Edition – a limited run of 10 cars paying tribute to the British wartime prime minister’s Land Rover Series I, which was gifted to him in 1954. Three bodystyles are available and all cars feature Bronze Green paint with Bridge of Weir leather inside. 

Based on the classic Defender, which went out of production in 2016, the Churchill is offered in a choice of 90 or 110 bodystyles, with the former available either as a Station Wagon or a Soft Top. Land Rover says every model is “comprehensively rebuilt and re-engineered for comfort and performance” featuring the familiar 399bhp 5.0-litre petrol V8, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Prices start from a not inconsequential £232,500 (excluding VAT).
