SUMMARY

This is one of the very first Smart Roadsters sold in the UK by Smart Mercedes, with less than 5,000 miles from new.

DESCRIPTION

  • The Smart Roadster and Roadster Coupé were introduced in 2003, based on a stretched Fortwo platform. The two variants are meant to be reminiscent of British roadsters such as the Triumph Spitfire or the MG B
  • First registered in 2003, this early left-hand drive Roadster was purchased new from Smart Mercedes UK, Birmingham and now shows less than 5,000 miles from new
  • Used for the first year as a weekend toy, the vehicle was then put into a private Collection where it has remained until now and is now offered fresh from recommissioning
  • Powered by a 698cc turbocharged three-cylinder producing 81bhp, with rear-wheel drive via a 6-speed automated manual transmission with paddle shift
  • Finished in Jack Black and highly specified with heated black leather interior, it sits on upgraded 16" Spikeline alloys
  • Supplied with older invoices, original book pack, service book and current MOT (no advisories)
  • A low-mileage example of an esoteric modern classic, this early Smart Roadster would be a welcome addition to any Collection
