All models came in glossy black finish contrasting with the matt titanium grey powder coated finish of the TRIDION safety cell. The seats are finished in a fiery red upholstery and discreet leather fittings are dyed black. A transparent windshield which is reminiscent of a visor on a helmet is fitted over the cockpit area. The crossblade is fitted with double elliptical headlights with special rear lights consisting of LED fittings. It is based on an all-weather, all-seasons cabriolet. In addition, there are special drain points in the floor where rainwater will drain fully away and the seats are fully waterproof.

![CDATA[This fabulous pocket rocket is a replica of a Smart V6 Bi-turbo Brabus!The V6 Bi-turbo Brabus was never produced for the open market and Smart only built ten models and then destroyed all but two, with the remaining two now in museums. This car won 1st place for its design in 2011 at Italy's 'Smart Times', the biggest event of its kind, the car also won 3rd place for tuning and performance at the same venue. It then went on to win 2nd place in 2012 at Belgium's 'Smart Times' for tuning and performance and was driven to both of the above countries, driving superbly on both occasions.

![CDATA[Originally unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2001 as a concept vehicle, the Smart Crossblade was 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. 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 spirit', the concept had no roof, doors, or windshield, and it was more like a beach buggy. Driving it is like riding on rollerblades or a skateboard, an experience which lent itself to the name. 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 70 horsepower. Priced at 21,000, the car sold out quickly after it was introduced in June 2002. We are informed this sharp example in gloss black and mattgrey with striking red upholstery was gifted by Mercedes-Benz to Naseem Hamed, former multiple boxing world champion, on the 20th September 2005. 'Price' Naseem Hamed held the WBO title from 1995 to 2000, the IBF title in 1997 and is an International Hall of Fame boxer, he is ranked as the third best British featherweight boxer of all time by BoxRec. He is known for his front somersault over the top rope into the ring, his highly athletic and hard-hitting southpaw boxing style, and formidable one punch knockout power. We are told that Naseem, a well know sports personality and Mercedes-Benz customer, was gifted this Crossblade after spending over a quarter of a million pounds with Mercedes-Benz. This example has never been used on the road and has recorded just 158kms from new, it is a rare opportunity to purchase one of just 2,000 cars produced. Uniquely owned by the flamboyant multiple world champion boxer, it is a knockout purchase!]]
