PETER McLEOD - Citroen Dealer for 28 yrs. and respected Racing Team builder and driver.

After seeing an article in Playboy Magazine in 1972, describing the SM as “the most beautiful body in the world”, Peter decided he had to have one and investigated the car more fully. A genuine love of all Citroens soon developed and in 1974 Peter became the Citroen Dealer for Wollongong, NSW.
After selling lots of CXs and GSs, his first SM was purchased in 1977 from Slough U.K. It was a 1975 SC series and had travelled 19,000 ml., it had been Eurocars Londons' last demo and was the last SM officialally imported to the U.K. It was returned to Australia following a holiday touring the Continent, and after adorning the Citroen stand at the 1977 Sydney Motor Show, the conversion to R.H.D. began.
Following a 10 year apprenticeship developing knowledge and skills with this car, other SMs were acquired, the current count is 16, and buying trips to the US and Europe are getting more regular. During this time a web of contacts and a refined restoration procedure were developed, allowing Peter the scope and flexibility to explore all avenues of SM refurbishment.
Now with a dedicated restoration workshop, parts warehouse and staff, Peter’s passion and his hands-on approach provides a specialised and efficient base for the re-creation of these most rare automotive masterpieces.

WARREN HATHERLEY

Warren has been with the operation since 1986 and is the engineer responsible for the development of the conversion and restoration procedures. Doubling as a Citroen Service Engineer, Warren also built Peter’s racing Citroen BX16Valve cars that were successful at the Bathurst 12 Hour Classic for Production Cars in 1992 and subsequent Commodore V8 Super Cars until 1996.
With Warren’s versatility and ingenuity and a passion for overcoming technical obstacles he has, over 15 years, analysed and refined all the SM’s functions to ensure modern efficiency and original "feel".

GEOFF FULLER

Following a history of restoring American and Australian cars, Geoff looks after the stripping down and re-assembly of the SM’s and all their components. He is technically multi-talented and very meticulous in producing concourse standard work on a daily basis.
Others whose skill and experience contributes are: Tony Sultan, 32, a brillant body repairer and painter, and John Forrest, 56, who has vast experience with leather upholstery specialising in Vintage and British Classic Cars. They both produce work of exceptional standard.
