Once in a Lifetime – Citroën SM Maserati 5-Speed | Burgundy over Chestnut Leather | Matching Numbers | Documented History
Every so often, a car comes along that transcends machinery—something rare, sculptural, sophisticated, and steeped in engineering ambition. This is one of those cars.
Offered here is a 1971 Citroën SM, a timeless collaboration between French avant-garde design and Italian performance mastery. Powered by a 2.7L Maserati V6 and paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, this U.S.-delivered example is among the most desirable configurations of one of the most technically innovative vehicles of the 20th century.
Finished in deep Burgundy over Chestnut leather, it remains in exceptional condition, having travelled just 97,000 miles. This SM has never been fully restored—a testament to its careful ownership and original integrity. It is accompanied by its original log books and owner’s manual, as well as a recent comprehensive service including:
• New brake pads all around
• Fresh engine oil and filters
• New spark plugs
• Brand-new A/C condenser and receiver dryer
It starts with ease, idles smoothly, and delivers a silky, charismatic drive that only a Maserati-engineered French grand tourer can provide. The car currently wears Historic Registration and will be sold with a valid Roadworthy Certificate.
This is not merely a car—it is a story on wheels. In fact, this very example is the subject of a novel by Gregory Long, further cementing its cultural and historical footprint.
About the Citroën SM
The SM was born of Citroën’s ambition to build the world’s most advanced GT. Designed under Robert Opron and engineered by Jacques Né, it offered the world:
• A Maserati-derived V6
• Self-centering DIRAVI power steering
• Turning headlights
• Hydropneumatic self-levelling suspension
• Front-wheel drive with the transmission mounted ahead of the engine
The result' A spaceship on wheels with a top speed of 228 km/h, capable of devouring autobahns with serene composure and cornering with unmatched stability. To drive one is to experience how far ahead Citroën was in both vision and execution.
In Summary
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a true collector-grade Citroën SM, one that remains beautifully original, mechanically sorted, and rich in provenance. Whether you are a connoisseur of French engineering, a devotee of Maserati’s legacy, or simply someone who seeks the extraordinary, this SM deserves your attention.
A sound long-term investment. A rolling work of art. A car for those who truly understand.
