Speak with Andy B, his 'tothr arf' has a vanilla version of one  :y

I think the last thing he mentioned was that he might set light to it as it's not been all that reliable recently ;D

It's back on the road again. Local Merc/Smart indie managed to de-code all the keys. A mere £120 at Mercedes themselves had it running again.
I'm using it for work now nearly 50mpg instead of mid/high 20mpg  :y

Only problem is its one of those Smart 2 seater jobbies, looks cool though, Black with silver lower bits, great leather seats, current runs fine (quick!) on petrol although throws a Fault bleep when switched to LPG. ....

WTF do you fit a LPG tank on a Smart ..... assuming a Roadster  :-\

I am sure that if Merc could, they would totaly disassociate themselves from the Smart brand.

Oh yes! If only they could.  ;D ;D

I had the use of a SMART for a few days once through work.  Good fun for nipping around town in!  :y

The Roadster and the ForTwo are both 2 seaters ;)

At the price I'm guessing it's a ForTwo, otherwise it's a very cheap Roadster..

Still a 3.2 V6 iirc, and in a roller skate, quite potent I should think :y

Except none of those particular types were ever offered for sale.....so it will still be the delight that is the 3 pot I-3 Mitsubishi engine with a blower.

Its possibly about on the money in reality, Smarts dont tend to 'age' well.

I wouldn't consider it, it's not expensive...but if you intended to make any worthwhile profit, I think you would struggle.

Mark is spot on, as usual...a Smart under warranty / less than 3 years old is great. Anything other than that gives me nightmare's.
