Home > 1972 SM (Carburetor)
These pages present my 1972 Citroën SM and its restoration in progress. Check again this site to follow the restoration steps.
The goal of this restoration is not to get a new SM or a "concourse condition" one, my budget is not big enough for that, but to get a nice looking car, which runs and drives well, and which I will be able to use on a regular basis without troubles. And to achieve this goal, I plan many years of work, often very exciting but also boring some times.
Here is the picture presenting this car in a classified add I saw on the web site of a local antique car club in May 2003. The car seems pretty nice on this picture but, in fact, she's in very bad shape.
