For sale is a documented 38,363 miles, 1973 Citroën SM 3 Liter 5-speed with vinyl cloth sunroof. While this is a U.S. Spec car, a European turning headlight assembly was sourced and installed in 2017. The dash has no cracks; body panels and chassis are rust free and the engine has had a recent top end service. Highlights are bullet-pointed below.

Owing to the car’s original, unmolested condition, the paint and body work do show a few nicks, dents and scratches and the upholstery has a tear in the center pillow cushion of the front passenger seat, and some undone stitching in the rear seat. (Two spare front seats and two spare rear seats are included with sale). The A/C system has not been tested and assumed it is not working, though all components are present. The clock does not work. The headlight lamps need re-silvering and the passenger’s side headlight hydraulic turning mechanism does not hold fluid (recommend converting to bicycle cable mechanism).
