Further to my recent post about unusual Citroens, which included pictures of the great and very rare (only two built) Citroen SM Presidentielle, I found another! Earlier this year, Bonhams sold a copy, it was built in 2006/07 by Garage du Lac in Neuchatel, Switzerland, approved by Chapron and based on a normal SM. It apparently cost €480,000 to build and sold for €155,250 inclusive of Buyer's Premium. Not a bargain but what a car, and as the two originals are no longer in running order despite being still owned by the Office of the President of the Republic, it is a unique vehicle and one that I would love to travel in.
Here are a few pictures of this unique copy...
Lovely. Always had a soft spot for the big old Citroens.
