I was lucky enough in 1979 to have a client that lent me a SM for a weekend thankfully with a full tank of petrol because with the massive triple carbs it drank like a fish and went like the wind and I still have really great memories of my time with it. This car really was a technical marvel back then especially with the head lights that moved with the steering wheel to point in the right direction there was just nothing like it back then or even now. It really was a beast of a machine as the Maserati engine transformed it from being a luxury sedan to pure madness and something I still remember very fondly even now some 38 years later. I would love to find one in good condition but not only do I believe it would cost a fortune to find one but running it and filling the tank would make it a very expensive experience so for now my memories will have to do but what great memories they are.
