  NEC Classic Motor Show 2016: Wheeler Dealer Mike Brewer unveils his latest project 8 Nov 2016 (News)
  TV’s Wheeler Dealer Mike Brewer will reveal one of his most challenging projects to date at this year's NEC Classic Motor Show on 11-13 November. The car in question is a 1972 Citroen SM – a car from the height of Citroen’s most eccentric and turbulent period. Mike says, 'It’s a car that would send a lot of people running scared – they’re very complex, but I wanted to show that if you do your research you can find the right people to turn a car around,' The SM launched in 1970 and by ’72, the year Mike’s SM left the factory, Citroen was in the midst of disastrous partnership with Maserati, a marriage that Mike says brought together two of the most eccentric, and most fragile manufacturers. Despite that, the SM continued Citroen’s fine reputation of creating cars that were beautifully designed and intelligently engineered.
