Hi Mike,
If it is the SM that you have purchased, there are some serious things to watch out for. The Maserati V6 engine is notorious for throwing timing chains, which takes out the valve train as it is an interference engine. If the timing chain has not been replaced, it is a necessary and expensive procedure.
Also, on all Citroen's, because of the nature of the smooth sided bottom, rust does not appear in the usual places, and a Citroen can be quite rusty without apparent signs of the deterioration. You need to check the trunk floor way forward by the seam with the vertical front wall of the trunk, and the lower doors, from the inside, and with a magnet. These cars tend to rust from within the frame channels, and are supposed to be oiled in these channels to prevent the rust. It is extremely difficult to detect this rust from within the channels
