At SM Australia we are passionate about every SM we prepare for sale. Some cars are rebuilt totally regardless of cost for concourse display with many improvements, and others are prepared for daily use only. In all cases the same proven basic preparation procedures are strictly followed ensuring every car is a reliable and satisfying performer and a credit to the marque, with all known items of concern suitably addressed. Each car is extensively workshopped and road-tested by the principals of SM Australia to ensure a consistently high standard in both performance and presentation is maintained
