Frequent contributor Karel Vermeer is also a travelling man. On his way back from France to Holland he took the N71 south-east of Troyes and suddenly saw this interesting Opel Kapitän outside a garage. Reason enough for a stop and a chat with the owner. It appeared that the Opel was just the odd one out as the garage owner was in the business of restoring Citroën SMs. He had around ten in his workshop, some under restoration, others waiting for their turn. We did a bit of googling and found the website of this Citroën SM workshop, which included an interesting story about the Tissier SM (only drawback is that it's written in French, yet if you can keep your food in when reading a Google translation; here you go).
