Citroën SM Recreation "Mylord - Henry Chapron" – A Masterpiece on Wheels

​

There are cars, and then there are legends.

What we are offering you today is not just a car – it is a piece of history, a masterpiece that has stood the test of time and captivates every observer. This is an extremely rare and almost unique example: A Citroën SM Recreation "Mylord Henry Chapron" Cabriolet, the dream of every automobile enthusiast.

The heart of this car beats in sync with Maserati. Equipped with the original Maserati V6 engine, this car combines the elegance of a French classic with the power and temperament of an Italian sports car. A synergy so perfect, it must be experienced to be believed.

This vehicle is not just a car, but a tribute to the art of automobile craftsmanship. **Expertly restored and rebuilt to the original standards of the famous Chapron cabriolet, it now shines with a brilliance reminiscent of the golden age of automobile manufacturing.**

Only about 5 to 8 original Henri Chapron cabriolets were ever made, and they now fetch prices well over €500,000 – if one can even find an original for sale. Here, you have the opportunity to acquire a vehicle that stands alone in its uniqueness and rarity.

The SM unites avant-garde elegance with excellent aerodynamics and technology that was far ahead of its time. The hydropneumatic suspension, combined with an extremely responsive rack and pinion steering system with power assistance, provides an almost floating driving experience. The "H"-patterned gearshift, similar to a Ferrari's, ensures perfectly smooth shifts, adding to the exceptional driving sensation. The variable hydraulic cornering lights allow the high-beam iodine headlights to pivot horizontally. A rubber ball-like brake pedal was also a feature that set this automotive icon far ahead of its time. The front license plate can travel around encased in plexiglass along with six light units, like a valuable exhibition piece.

The engine came from Maserati. Chief engineer Giulio Alfieri specifically designed a six-cylinder engine for the compact engine bay. It has an especially compact shape with a low profile, despite having four overhead camshafts in aluminum cylinder heads. The result: a fantastic engine and an incredible driving experience thanks to the rearward placement of the six-cylinder engine. With a top speed of 220 km/h, the Citroën SM was considered the fastest front-wheel-drive production car for a long time. The sporty yet luxurious grand tourer also quickly achieved success in motorsport.

The history of this car is as extraordinary as the vehicle itself. It comes from the estate of a well-known figure in the Citroën community, the founder of the SM Maserati Club in Germany. This car was his pride and passion – and you can feel that in every detail. Over many years, he lovingly and meticulously restored it to resemble the original Mylord Cabriolet. He used the dimensions of an original Mylord cabriolet for the conversion. This restoration has even been featured in specialist press articles.

The vehicle recently passed inspection and holds historic (H) registration. Documentation for classic car registration is, of course, available. Additionally, there is a current appraisal and a folder full of documentation that traces the eventful and fascinating history of this car.

The vehicle drives perfectly and is ready to be enjoyed immediately, without any repair backlog. The smooth engine and suspension will make any enthusiast's heart skip a beat.

For collectors and enthusiasts, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. A car like this is not something you see at every meet or in every collection. It is a one-of-a-kind vehicle that is waiting for a new owner to treasure it.

Don't miss the chance to acquire this jewel – a Citroën SM Recreation "Mylord Henry Chapron" Cabriolet, a vehicle that stirs unforgettable emotions with its history and presence. Step into the world of automotive legends and make this car your own.
