Motorshow 2000 SMART CAR UK DEBUT
Some of the top-flight cars on display at the British International
Motor Show in Birmingham are capable of speeds exceeding 200 mph. But
the tiny, German built smart car, which can just about manage a maximum
of 85 mph has been attracting crowds just as strongly as the Aston Martins,
Jaguars and Ferraris. The smart's patriotic Union Jack one-off special
edition paint job was designed by London-based artist Pip Hackett to
celebrate the car's official entry into the UK market at the Show last
week. It will be auctioned for charity at the end of the Show. Built
by Micro Compact Car GmbH, part of the DaimlerChrysler group, the nifty
two-seater boasts a 599 cc engine and returns an average 65.7 miles
to the gallon. At first the car will be sold in busy metropolitan shopping
areas like London, Milton Keynes and Birmingham, but eventually DaimlerChrysler
UK intends to roll out a national sales network for its smart little
motor. If you wish to contact us either : PHONE 0121 444
