SUMMARY
A really smart Smart. Number 417 of 2,000. Incredibly original having covered only 296km (184 miles) from new.
DESCRIPTION
- Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2001 as a concept vehicle, the Crossblade created such hysteria that Smart built a run of 2,000 individually-numbered cars
- Described by the Marketing Department as 'An open leisure vehicle uncompromisingly designed for blue skies and high spirits', the concept had no roof, no doors and a minimal screen, almost like a modern Beach Buggy
- Brabus-tuned, 70bhp, 599cc, three-cylinder in the rear with a 6-speed semi-automatic gearbox
- 0417 was supplied to the Mercedes-Benz Smart Center in Dornbirn, Austria in 2002 and remained in stock up until 2005. Its first service is recorded as 15/04/2005 at just 2km
- It's unknown if 0417 was ever registered to a customer, or if it remained in the Smart Center showroom. Its second stamp in the service book was later completed at 245km and again carried out by the supplying dealer in June of 2015
- Most recently our vendor sourced the car from Madrid in 2021 and, whilst in the UK, it remains unregistered without a UK V5C and application of NOVA is currently in process
- Included in the sale is a selection of incredibly rare ‘Smartware’ dealership-supplied accessories including a steering wheel cover, radio cover, two extra-terrestrial Crossblade hats, Crossblade sunglasses, with some of these items still wearing the original bar-codes and tags
- Complete with the original Book Pack, Service Book and even the original spare battery fob
- If you are in the market for one of these 'grown-up skateboards', 0417 with just 296km may well be the lowest mileage Crossblade available anywhere
