Just seen an advert for a perfume that stars a Citroen Maserati, SM 4 door. I have never seen one in the flesh, known as an "Opera". Only 17 made apparently. Still makes the SM look quite elegant even with the extended wheelbase.

Thanks for the info Ian and Shifty. Looks more elegant in the advert than it does in your still photo Ian. It is alleged to be 17ft long so not an easy parallel park as it would be bereft of electronic aids.

Edit. On closer examination it looks like your still is of the convertible version Ian which would go some way to explaining the lack of elegance.

I saw one in a motel car park in France about 15 years ago, had a chat (as best I could with my limited French) with the owner, I think he told he that his was one of three left in France.

Close. I think it is decapotable with an accent (acute?) over the e.

Ds, and traction, decapotable by Henri Chapron are amongst the most achingly pretty cars ever made. Sm not quite so successful but then how do you improve on perfection. Sm would be my first lottery win car, followed by Maserati bora, then....arggh, you got me started...

Some cars are rare for a reason...

The French have a history of that sort of behaviour.

Khamsin.

That is all.

Since they were intended for use by heads of goverment and other exalted beings, they probably had few problems finding parking spaces.

did you chop its head off

french for vert is decapatable eg chop its head off take its head off

my mate had ren 5 gt turbo vert well webasto more than a vert never seen another one
i had a yellow ax gt and saved a baby bird from nextdoors cats mouth
it turned into a perregrin falcon narky i cllaed him as he was er quite narky with everyone but me who fed him as a defenseless little babay
he would fly down and land and totally ruin the roof spoiler and roof paint
er dave what happen to your spoiler ah me pet falcon ruined it
i didnt realise thye were worth so much money i let him go up highlands house when he could fly and swoop properly
he squarked for about an hour when i hid in me mates car and he was like simba in the lion king
about an hour lkater he buggered off
came back a few years later to show me his new mrs falcon then never saw him again
peoper scary when they fly down at you you wince handrakes round you at a really fast speed like wind knock you over speed scaryest feet ive seen
question when girls see a falcon why do they try and stroke it after me saying hes a killing machine right not a pet
