Norev – Citroën SM


Scale model of an automobile, the Citroën SM, made by Norev. This example is reference 310701, included in the "MULTIGAM CLASSIC" series. It is made in China, possibly in 2017. Metal body painted in metallic beige. Black plastic base. Glazing represented in transparent plastic, with details molded in the windshield. Interior details in black plastic. Detailed plastic rims with "chrome" finish, rubber tires. No suspension. Although included in the "1:64 MINIJET" collection, the nominal scale is probably around 1:57. The overall length is approximately 3.3 in. About 1.3 oz. This model represents a 1970 Citroën SM coupé, a front-wheel drive automobile equipped with the 127 kW (170 hp) Maserati C114/1 (V6, 2670 cm³) engine. 

A friend of mine owns one of these cars and says it is a marriage of love and hate. Love, because it is a fascinating automobile, a unique expression of ingenuity and art. Hate, because when something fails, repair is usually expensive. Still, there is no evidence of a possible divorce. As for me, I have no reason to complain. Since I bought it, my little Norev has never given me any problems or additional expenses. This automobile, the Citroën SM, is in my collection under the theme "French Vehicles". ●

Carroçaria em metal pintada em bege metalizado. Base em plástico preto. Vidros representados em plástico transparente, com detalhes moldados no pára-brisas. Detalhes interiores em plástico preto. Jantes em plástico detalhadas e com acabamento "cromado", pneus em borracha. Sem suspensão. Apesar de incluído na colecção "1:64 MINIJET", a escala nominal é provavelmente à volta de 1:57. O comprimento total é de aproximadamente 85 mm. Cerca de 36 g. Este modelo representa um Citroën SM coupé de 1970, um automóvel de tracção dianteira equipado com o motor Maserati C114/1 (V6, 2670 cm³) de 127 kW (170 hp).

Um amigo meu tem um destes automóveis e costuma dizer que é um casamento de amor e ódio. Amor, porque é um automóvel fascinante, uma singular expressão de engenho e arte. Ódio, porque quando alguma coisa falha, a reparação é normalmente dispendiosa. Ainda assim, não há indícios de possível divórcio. Quanto a mim, não tenho razões de queixa. Desde que o comprei, o meu pequeno Norev nunca me deu problemas ou despesas adicionais. Este automóvel, o Citroën SM, encontra-se na minha colecção sob o tema "Veículos Franceses". ●
