What is the watch that Kevin in wearing? Is it by any chance the Rado Integral?

a perfect owner for this car, as stilish as the car itself, and yes what a gearbox

The DS already turned the front lights and at first was a bit frightning ,as one had the feeling a car was coming faster in the direction one turned and they only were built not to compete with any other car ,it´s a unique car and citroen didn´t agree with having more than 2.175 CC´s engine and the SM was and in colaboration with Maseratti, it´s a out of this world car, and you know it

All i can say is that from my favoriye cars in my 20´s i only didn´t bought the Lancia Stratos and the citroen SM ,were asking too much money, then i thought "maybe in a few years they will be more afordable" but no the prices asked only increased, in the 80´s almost did it but ended up not buying them, now i´m i feel stupid for not having bought them when they were expensive but cheaper.the other was the ferrari daytona with top, the convertible i own one, but where i live is sunny most of the year so topless cars is a burning head feeling, only at night and soft top´s are being destroyd by the minute during the day time, my SL´s and SLC are all with hardtop , but also i think there wasn´t a SLC without top, the 70´s coupé of the future SEC´s or S class coupé´s

Not the first Citroën with swiveling headlights nor is it the first with 5 speed manual, the DS offered it already before the SM

What a beauty!❤

De DS had al meedraaiende lampen.

This guy spits when he talks 😮

Fake watch and dumb hat don't add to the cheesy review.

The French always made products with dramatic flair and innovation. I'm a great admirer of this Gallic trait. I remember being on a SNCF passenger train coming in from Belgium. Off in the distance, something caught my eye. It was the TGV. It was a fast-moving, undulating beast and it was very impressive.

Used to commute in my SM & only got love from fellow travelers - one of best examples has been meaningful nods from bikers!

Love that you love the SM. I have owned three SMs & they are complex but very reliable if looked after. Also the only car that gets more attention than the usual suspects!

poignees de portes hum!!!!!

It's Fabulous my dude, I love it!! 🎉

That brought back some memories, as I drove one for a few hours a quarter of a century ago. It was 'other worldly' in so many respects, but it was the amazing suspension that really gripped my attention.

Two feet longer and wider - so not the same chassis then is it , Yes I have owned one and a lovely motor car !

9:11 lenth is a thumbs upper

hold up there guy , the headlights were first done on the tucker

Are they Alfa 105 coupe taillights?

1:26 : corner following head lamps were definitely not the first with the SM.

史上最低のオリンピックなのは誰にでもわかる。トランスジェンダーとかSDGSとかスポーツに持ち込むな

Beautiful ... Space ship ... 🚙👍🚀🛸🙏☯🎩♾

I remember going to Europe in the early 90’s after the fall. I laughed so hard when I saw my first Citreon, not that cars in the 90’s had all the best styles. Never seen an SM in person but man do I love it’s design more and more every time I see it

I keep watching this review just for Mr Kevin's Haggerthy's impeccable English.. oh and thank heavens and English Breakfast tea its nothing like those Clarkson clowns

didnt the maserati sm come out in 75?

The best Citroen produced was the 1974 DS23 Pallas. It was the best and most advance automobile ever produced in the world. The SM was basically terrible due to the garbage Maserati V-6 Engine. Cylinder Head Gasket failures were common at relatively low mileages. The 4 Cyl. Hemi Head Engine in the DS Series was able to achieve 120 mph with 5 adults in the car. 90% of all automotive videos on TH-cam are fairly worthless. They fail illustrate why any specific vehicle is excellent from a Technical and Engineering aspect. Their stupid attention to a mundane details and alleged beauty is moronic. Opinion of beauty is subjective !

Sadly soon All Gas cars will be forbidden in EU ans USA!

Why would you open on the parts bin stuff? These cars are prettier than a Miura, and both more practical and less likely to catch fire. These are the most undervalued pedigree classics out there. And you can't have mine. 🎉 Oh, and you'd get better performance if you wore a less blingy watch. Add lightness.

CITROEN , c'est la 2CV avant le déclenchement de la seconde guerre , un design incroyable pour l'époque , ce fut aussi la TRACTION , ensuite , en 1955 , la DS , un ovni pour l'époque , la SM , un extraterrestre !! la CX , la GS , SM , la C5 et le navire amiral , la C6 , un paquebot qui se conduit comme un ROLLS ROYCE , mais il y a eu la ZX , la XANTIA ACTIVA V6 qui est la seule voiture au monde a viré à plat !! grâce à des vérins qui poussaient la caisse

Affordability is one thing, that eases with time, but the other problem that only gets worse, is maintenance. This car would be impossible to maintain in the US, and likely veey expensive to insure.

this is CLASS

This is Technolgie Porno

I used to drive a silver SM (ODP 591M) back in the late 70s in the West End of London. It's wonderful to drive and a real head turner. My all time favourite car.

Ugly car

Man... I do miss big Citroëns. This, the DS, the CX and even more recent cars like the XM or C6 were just so... French ... and different.

I've only ever seen this car in silver and/or possibly bronze. But looks absolutely stunning in dark blue! 👍👍

Imo Citroën should have put the initial V8 in it and should have offered an automatic. This V6 could have been used in a top level DS and later CX. Sadly the oil crisis of 1973 spoiler the fun.

Lucky man .

It has everything. Style, pace, awesome innovative engineering, and it's even practical too. Pity it's so damned complicated if anything were to go wrong.

C est simple si elle rebondit c est que les sphère hydraulique sont fatiguer très simple à changer vue qu elle passe la majorité à l arrêt alors que c est un avion pour la route ❤

Stunning car and a stunning colour too. Its classy and brilliant. Amazing what Citroen achived with this at the time.

Yeah! I also had a Citroën SM as a model, even behind the Iron Curtain! 😃👍 It was not a matchbox-sized car but a bigger one with more details in gold metallic (10 cm or 4" and heavy). I liked this model even before knowing that this car existed in reality. When I was a kid it was just a precious toy. Maybe I will drive it one day? 😉

Wow. This clip has "old Top Gear" written all over it!

I love the color of your SM !!

A great review, Kevin. You're the kind of dapper gent I can see behind the wheel of something Avant Garde like the SM on a daily basis.

I think this may be my favorite car of all time. I think they should give it to you!

Excellent, inspiring review! Well done!

Beautiful front....like it was designed by Gerry Anderson.

In my young days, driving through Morocco through Atlas Mountains at steady 50MPH when a fleet of Police outsiders at huge speed in front of bright red Citroën SM driven by King of Morocco flashed past, pushing us off the road. Wow...hugely impressive. Very desirable car

Currently resurrecting my late father's 71 +2s. Absolutely can not wait to get behind the wheel and enjoy it. Childhood dream of mine to do so. In the meantime videos like these will have to do!!
