Pilen 339 Citroën SM "Servicio De Urgencia"

A beautiful Pilen 339 Citroën SM “Servicio de Urgencia” in 1:43 scale, a rare and sought-after model from the Spanish brand Pilen. This example is in excellent condition, making it a particularly attractive collector's item for enthusiasts of classic Citroëns and historic Spanish diecast vehicles.

Pilen, founded in Ibi (Alicante) in the 1960s, grew into one of the leading Spanish manufacturers of diecast metal models in the 1970s and 1980s. The brand was known for its detailed models, often based on professional vehicles and exotic sports cars, but refined by Pilen and equipped with signature features such as working suspension, beautiful wheelsets, and realistic interiors. Special editions were regularly released for the Spanish market, including emergency vehicles like this “Servicio de Urgencia” version.

The Citroën SM, the original on which this model is based, was introduced in 1970 as a luxurious grand tourer that combined technological refinement with high performance. With its Maserati V6, hydropneumatic suspension, and futuristic lines, the SM was a paragon of French engineering and avant-garde design. The car became such an iconic symbol of modernity that it became beloved worldwide, even in miniature form.

The Pilen 339 translates that elegant reality into a detailed and recognizable scale model. The "Servicio de Urgencia" version reflects the emergency services active in Spain in the 1970s and 1980s. The striking color scheme, flashing light, and specific decals give the model an authentic Spanish look that immediately distinguishes it from standard models. Moreover, the model is constructed of sturdy metal, a characteristic Pilen design and contributing to its characteristic sense of quality.

This example is remarkably well-preserved; even the paintwork looks fresh, the details are neat, and the whole exudes that vintage charm that makes Pilen models so beloved. It is an ideal piece for collectors of Citroën, Pilen, emergency vehicles, or Spanish diecast history.

A beautiful, historic miniature that is both visually appealing and represents a piece of Spanish model making history.
