2002 SMART CROSSBLADE ROADSTER No281 Ltd Ed UK sup l/miles The Crossblade was a 2002 special edition vehicle based on the Cabrio FORTWO of the city car. This concept car was unveiled at the Geneva Motor show in March 2001 where it created such hysteria that Smart put the car into production as a limited run of only 2000 cars worldwide (all lhd). The cars were individually numbered and this is No 281. We are advised that only 10 cars were actually sold in the UK and this is one of those ten. It has a Brabus tuned 600cc engine which is 3 cylinder with a turbo charger putting out 70bhp out of a car weighing just 740kg. It also has an automated sequential 6 speed gearbox. This vehicle has covered a mere 6600 miles from new and was part of a private collection for some time.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. Atransparent 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.This example is fitted with 16 3 spoke Brabus racing alloy wheels, waterproof interior, car cover, locking petrol cap, sportseats, digial speedo, radio/multi-stacl CD system, overmats, cupholders,The history folder includes current V5 and MoT, key tags, 2 sets of keys, previous Mot certificates and related paperwork, radio info, HPi report, vehicle specification report, various invoices, service history book containing service history of PDi, 1800 miles, 4600, 6300 service, full 6 book bookpack, original bookpack holder and smart crossblade write ups.I have to say we have been overwhelmed by how good they areto drive, great fun and causes a stir where ever you go.This car would adorn any car collection especially if you are into the Mercedes marque. This very rare car, in our opinion, will turn into a good investment.
