Alex Roy still has the 1973 Citroën SM his brother Max left behind when he died of cancer in 2024.
The car carried a shared plan: the brothers had intended to drive the teardrop-shaped coupé cross-country.
That trip would have honored Citroën's role in the family's history after Roy's father and his German Jewish relatives fled Brussels in 1940.
