What colour is it out of interest?

I really think they are great and have come round to like the front end after the great looking peanut lights.

Great choice, i only managed a few miles in ones a few years back and fell for it. Quirky, practical and FUN!

I love it when designers totally focus on what the specification said car should be, just as caterham do with the seven (handling), Citroen do with the C6 (comfort) Landrover do with the defender (off road)....

Smart really have hit the nail on the head. It seems most of those who turn their nose have a one car fits all mentality. Want a sunday blast, buy a caterham. Want to drive in the city, buy a Smart!

It is a flat grey limited edition "urban chic" with sat nav leather etc. As for the plate I have a few more some say I have a nob fetish!





As you can see doing 60 to the gallon and free road tax is nice after normally getting around 15 mpg!
