Between a Ferrari and an Austin 7
#19
My Citroen SM is a delight to drive and covers the ground superbly. However it is like no other car to drive. The steering is very high geared with power self centering which gets stronger with speed. Goes dead straight hands off at any speed and won't deviate even with a puncture or hitting an object. Takes at least a couple of 100 miles to get used to and to change gear without zig-zagging. Once mastered it is like nothing else on the road. Top speed 140 and the faster it goes the better it gets.
My 1929 fabric saloon is just as enjoyable but totally different, except for the direct steering.
