I have one evening with a lovely 1973 Citroen SM to make a video. What should it have? Engine sounds? Car history? Driving impressions? I don’t know if I’ll be able to drive it but the owner could certainly answer any questions about what it’s like behind the wheel.
I already know that I want to get some gopro action of that crazy suspension going up and down as the car drives along. My videos are usually only about 2:30 long but I’ll fit in all your requests if I can. What do you want to see from this video?

What is it’s turning radius like? I have a feeling it’s either extremely good, or cruise ship like.

I have never once thought abou that. I’ll find out! We do a lot of U-turns while filming on narrow roads.

A given, but how reliable IS the suspension? Has he ever had issues with maintenance or trouble? How often does he use his car?

All good questions. All I can answer right know is that he uses it frequently in good weather but never in the rain/snow. I’ve even seen it parked in a mall parking lot once!

I want to see the view from a GoPro mounted somewhere along the outside while driving over a bunch of bumps, train tracks, potholes... basically, the suspension dampening in action.

We can definitely make that happen

You obviously have to get it from the suspension down to full rise. It’s like a warrior getting ready for battle. I love these cars. When I had money a while back I was scouring ads constantly in search of one.
