A white 5 speed and a Peacock Blue automatic
Great car
The front wheels are a tire (Michelin SWS) width wider than the rear so it stops in a straight line and would actually ride on three tires because of the hydraulic suspension ... though don't try and fast corners
I picked up the Blue one in Port Everglades and shortly thereafter came up upon and passed a FL Stater Trooper while he was pulling over an other speeder on a big curve on the highway
He waved off the other car and came for me and I pulled over and waited.
As he approached the car I released the hydraulics dropping the car down almost on the tires
I handed him my export registration and a Florida license
He said, "Didn't you see me pulling that other car over?" Though not usually prone to profanity the trooper asked, "What the f____ is this?"
I explained that I had just picked it up at the port and this was my first drive on this side of the puddle
He handed me back my fist full of paper work and told me he never wanted to see me on his highway again.
I thanked him sincerely started the car and raised the car back to the second level he just stared at me with his hands on his hips as I pulled away
It's a great car and if I thought someone could keep one on the road I'd have one today
Aviation grade aluminum and the smoothest ride on the road
Bob Cressman of Cressman Ferrari in Hollywood?? took good care of them and was far better than the dealer (who also sold VW's in Lauderdale) an SM will hold its own with any car today, either standing still or with the Maserati W-6 screaming
They were Michelin XWX tires
