About the Citroen SM Orient Blue Norev 1:18
TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Citroen SM reproduces the 1970s Citroen-Maserati grand tourer in Orient Blue, with opening doors and hood. This is a used model; the box shows traces of storage while the casting remains sound. The SM's low, aerodynamic shape still stands apart from contemporaries.
Painted in Orient Blue, this SM carries the same unusual Franco-Italian engineering story as its siblings, wrapped in one of the era's most distinctive silhouettes.
Diecast Build with Genuine Opening Detail
The casting carries real weight in the hand, signaling zinc alloy over any lighter plastic alternative. The doors and hood open, exposing the simplified cabin and the SM's distinctive transverse-mounted engine layout, a genuine feature to inspect rather than take on faith. Panel gaps sit slightly wider than a resin equivalent, an honest trade at this price. Orient Blue paint shows metallic flake convincingly under direct light, following the SM's low nose and sweeping roofline. This is a used model, and its box carries traces of storage, an ordinary condition reflecting genuine time on a shelf.
An Engineering Statement on Wheels
Built through the early-to-mid 1970s following Citroen's acquisition of Maserati, the SM combined a Maserati-sourced V6 with Citroen's hydropneumatic suspension and self-centering, speed-sensitive power steering, technology well ahead of most contemporaries. Its aerodynamic, low-slung body was as much a functional choice as a styling one, aimed at genuine high-speed touring rather than pure spectacle.
Where It Fits
This SM pairs naturally with its Citroen-Maserati siblings in other colors or with contemporary French and Italian grand tourers, its opening doors and hood inviting a closer inspection of genuinely advanced 1970s engineering. The honestly disclosed used condition and storage-marked box keep this distinctive subject accessible to a collector drawn to engineering ambition over conventional GT styling.
