It sounds even better close up, especially in quaint old towns like Chichester where I live, with narrow streets to reverberate from ( even more so if there is a pensioner to burn past nosily!).

Awesome.  It's great to see an SM driven like God intended.

Thanks my friend. What's the point of having one if you don't give it a good thrashing every now and again!

@TimothyLM

Not want to offend you , but the SM was created as a grand tourer not a racing car . They did so well at the Rallye du Maroc in 1971, because they were heavily modified .

@richnoddy

i don't agree , i really don't see the need at the starting point to rev the engine that high and drop the clutch while you are starting on a gravel road , your are only damaging the cv's . A gentle startup at 2500rpm , will induce less wheelspin so a better time . Have a great day .

Dont forget to put 1:100 two stroke Oil API TC into the tank for each fill, because thats good for the carbs and the pistons..modern fuel does not take care of the old engine materials!

[Klottelitsch]

Maybe he forget to shift and it was 130?
