During our brief stay in London, our hotel was based in Southwark where I remember (approx 9 years ago) stumbling on a street full of classic Citroen's. One evening we went for a stroll and came across them again. Sadly still there. The SM is in a worse state as was the DS, One of the other DS's seems to be replaced with a Traction. Such a shame to see these classics rotting away. I'm sure the owner must have been approached many times with regards to selling!!

Are they MOTd and taxed?...

There is a old Citroën garage near me which closed down a couple of years ago; the land sold off for housing. The old cas (like these) are just left on a side road rising away.

The latest issue of Magneto contains a good article on the SM. They've increased in value by 20% over the last year, to an average price of £43k now. So, a bit more than is needed to buy that lovely GranTourismo Sport MC Shift that Dicky G has in stock now!

Just around the corner from the White Hart? Not far from Waterloo. Sure I’ve stumbled past them!
