This hazel brown metallic and black Smart Fortwo Cabrio was parked in a church parking lot in New Fairfield, Connecticut.
Seen parked in Woburn Sands, Bedfordshire, this was my first sighting of the second-generation Smart ForFour. Whilst I was familiar with the eggcup-shaped Smart Fortwo on US roads (though no longer imported there), I was hitherto unaware of its bigger brother. With production of the ForFour having ceased in 2021, I wonder if I managed to photograph a UK rarity and perhaps future classic?
The Smart Roadster was introduced in 2003. It is powered by a 82 PS turbocharged 698cc 3-cylinder engine in the rear. In late 2005 production was stopped after some 43,000 were built as DaimlerChrysler focused the Smart brand on the Fortwo model only.
The smart marque began as a collaboration between Volkswagen and the Swiss watch brand Swatch. After VW pulled out from the project, Daimler-Benz stepped in to provide the vehicle architecture.
The first smart brand car was launched in 1998. The car was a short two-seat city car. The car was known as the Smart City Coupe and Smart City Cabriolet.
A second line was added in 2003 the Smart Roadster (R452) shown, and the Smart Roadster Coupe (C452). The two shared the basic architecture and design, differing primarily in the Roadster having a flat luggage/engine lid behind the rollbar, while the Roadster Coupe had a glass hatch section in the place. Both cars had a removable 'targa' panel over the two occupants, spanning the windscreen and the rollbar.
The Roadster and Roadster Coupe also shared many mechanical systems with the Smart city car (to be renamed Smart Four-Two in 2004), including the engine/transmission systems and suspension. The Smart Roadster and Roadster Coupe had a much lower set 'Tridion' safety cell.
For such an appealing compact sportscar, the Smart Roadster had a short lifespan, being removed from market at the end of 2005.
No, not Stagecoach Smart, the smart ticketing system. Stagecoach North East's SN65 OJD (37313) is seen leaving South Shields bus depot before taking up its days work. It wears a smart DOTS branding. This is for services 3, 4, 7 and 8 that connect South Shields town centre and Harton Nook... joining the dots. SN65OJD was new in September 2015 to Stagecoach Busways. The operation was acquired from Busways Travel Services. It is an Alexander Dennis (ADL) E20D/ADL Enviro 200. The inspector at the depot was really nice.
One of DB Cargo's much smarter Class 66s, 66 094, runs light engine through Acton Bridge from Warrington Bank Quay to Ditton Foundry Lane to work the 6O17 service to Dollands Moor later in the evening.
66094, which received its smart up-to-date livery in December last year, reversed at Hartford Junction and then ran back north through Acton Bridge a short while later to then head to Ditton.
New to Billy Smart in 1946, for whom it worked powering the circus and funfair with its Ruston generators.
