Citroen H-van

I've always wanted an SM but now that i can afford one ,they just don't have the same appeal that they did.

I'm the same. SMs were, but still are hot.

Always will be.

Aesethically it is a spaceship, not a vehicle. It should never have had wheels.

The design was timeless.

Don't wait another 10 years to find out it was a temporary thing Bill, they will be too expensive. DS21s aren't cheap now and they made heeeeaps of them.

Where are Citroen's modern H vans, DSs, SMs and 2CVs? They make great vans but so do everyone else.

I want to see a modern day SM, it'd be way slicker than a DeLorean and be a whole lot nicer to look at.

Thanks Bruce for the look and info. There is also a van version of this that is in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin each year for the Brian Redman Challenge at Road America. Now that we have a digital camera I'll take a snapshot this year and post it. The event is less than two weeks off.
The streets of the town are absolutely littered with vintage racing machines and every kind of sports car imaginable yet this thing always draws a crowd.

at presednt i have a 1969 DS21 parts car.

i had a very nice 1972 DS21 but sold it in a hurry when my mother had medical problems. since i plan to get another sometime, i've hung onto the parts car.

I've always wanted an SM but now that i can afford one ,they just don't have the same appeal that they did.

for some reason they've never appealed to me. that's the robert opron era -- CX, BX, SM -- and i much prefer the more flowing lines of the DS. just as i think the E34 (and E28) are much more beuatiful than the newer cars. i can tell you, though, driving an SM is a very thrilling experience.

I love those cans. They populate every French town square on every weekly market-day since the war. They probably carried everything item in the country 10 times... they moved the country, literally. All at snails pace. I'll always remember them from my childhood.

Wish I could find one here in Aus- never seen a single one.

Great work Bruce, look after her, she'll love you forever that little van.

citroens, ducks and ds's, in the early 60's this was an unusual thing here in the southwest. That may have fanned my early interest in them and working on some in the early 70's added to it. That plus the cool tv commercial they used to have where they got a flat tire, removed one wheel and drove off on 3..
