  • Charismatic city car
  • One celebrity owner from new
  • Circa 3,000 kilometres recorded

Over the last two decades, the Smart microcar had become a familiar sight in cities around the world. Unusually, it was not the creation of an established motor manufacturer but a watchmaker: SMH, makers of Swatch watches. Smart CEO Nicolas Hayek realised that collaboration with a motor industry partner was the way forward and concluded a deal with Daimler-Benz in 1994. An egg-shaped two-seater, the Fortwo Coupé was powered by a rear-mounted petrol engine that drove the rear wheels. Updated with more modern engines and drive trains, the basic concept endures to this day.

Its owner from new, Sir Roger Moore loved using his Smart as it was so low key, while its small size meant that he could often park it between two other cars. When his children asked him about the car he'd say: 'the bigger the star, the smaller the car'! Sir Roger used the Smart for shopping, visiting restaurants, etc as it was easy to park in Monaco. Kept at his home in the South of France, the Smart has seen little use in recent years and has covered only circa 3,000 kilometres from new. It is offered from his estate, the bulk of which was sold by Bonhams last year, and comes with a Monegasque Certificat d'Immatriculation. Subject to inspection

Issue de la collection personnelle de Sir Roger Moore 2012 Smart Fortwo Châssis n° WME4513801K554639

  • Charismatique voiture urbaine
  • Propriété d'une célébrité depuis l'origine
  • Environ 3 000 km connus
  • Document d'immatriculation monégasque Sir Roger Moore (1927-2017) incarnait l'élégance et la classe de James Bond, rôle qu'il avait tenu à sept reprises, davantage qu'aucun autre acteur de la série. Au-delà de ce personnage, Sir Roger était devenu l'un des figures du raffinement de sa génération et l'archétype de la décontraction britannique, car il avait également brillé dans les séries télévisées Le Saint et Amicalement vôtre.

Ces vingt dernières années, la petite Smart s'est intégrée aux paysages urbains du monde entier. Son existence n'est toutefois pas due à un constructeur automobile établi, mais à un industriel de l'horlogerie, la SMH, la fabricante des montres Swatch. Le PDG de Smart, Nicolas Hayek, avait compris qu'il lui fallait pour réussir s'associer à un industriel de l'automobile et il avait conclu en 1994 un accord en ce sens avec Daimler-Benz. Le coupé Fortwo à l'allure ovoïde était équipé d'un moteur à essence monté à l'arrière, qui entraînait les roues arrière. Grâce à des moteurs et à des transmissions régulièrement modernisés, le concept de base a perduré jusqu'à nos jours.

Sir Roger Moore, qui l'avait achetée neuve, adorait utiliser sa Smart dont il appréciait la discrétion et la petite taille lui permettant de se garer entre deux autres voitures. A ses enfants qui l'interrogeaient sur sa voiture, il avait l'habitude de répondre : "A grande pointure, petite voiture" ! Sir Roger utilisait sa Smart pour faire ses courses, aller au restaurant, etc., car elle était facile à garer à Monaco. Conservée dans sa résidence du Midi de la France, elle n'a que peu servi ces dernières années et n'a parcouru qu'environ 3 000 km depuis l'origine.

Elle provient de sa propriété, qui a été vendue l'an dernier par les soins de Bonhams, et est proposée avec son certificat d'immatriculation monégasque. Sujette à inspection
