The Smart Crossblade was originally unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2001 as a concept vehicle, created under the mantra of "less is more". Its small size and surprising power output moved it along in traffic, due in part to the fact that the car weighed a mere 1,600 pounds, thus making it rather nippy. Its introduction created such hysteria that Smart built a limited run of 2,000 individually-numbered cars. Described as "an open leisure car uncompromisingly designed for blue skies and high spirits", the concept had no roof, doors, or windscreen and it was more like a beach buggy. The clever packaging came from Mercedes-Benz, who designed the car for the Swiss Swatch Company and also supplied the base engines, which have been tweaked by Brabus to produce 70hp. Priced at €21,000, the car sold out quickly after it was introduced in June 2002. Those of us sufficiently ancient to remember the time when the 'young and beautiful' cruised up and down Carnaby Street in a Beach Buggy on a Saturday Morning in the late-sixties will see this as its natural successor.

This Smart Crossblade, which is identified by its individual production number of ‘0063’, is typically presented in the attractive colour combination of black with a red interior. Having only covered 4,644 miles from new, this Crossblade is now offered to auction from a significant private collection and is accompanied by its V5C. Excitingly offered 'without reserve', this is an exciting opportunity to acquire a cool little car to get you efficiently around the large European racing circuit paddocks or provide a fun trip to the beach!
