The Smart Roadster Final Edition marked the end of an era for one of the most quirky and fun small sportscars on the market. Produced by Smart, a subsidiary of Daimler AG, the Smart Roadster was a two-seater roadster that combined distinctive design with an emphasis on compactness and urban practicality. However, after years of production from 2003 to 2006, Smart decided to discontinue the Roadster, with the Final Edition serving as the last hurrah for this unique vehicle. The 2006 Smart Roadster Final Edition was distinct from its earlier versions with its special features, designed to make it stand out as the last of its kind.
This model was offered with limited-edition badging and a sportier, more refined interior. The special edition also boasted a few enhancements in terms of technology and comfort, such as improved seats and advanced features in the dashboard, making it a more polished version of the already beloved Roadster. Under the bonnet, the Smart Roadster Final Edition featured a 698cc, three-cylinder engine, producing around 80 horsepower. While not an overwhelming amount of power, the car’s light weight (under 800kg) made it feel quick and nimble, perfect for tight corners and fast city driving.
It also had a five-speed automated manual transmission, adding a touch of driving excitement without overwhelming the driver.
Originally registered on 28th December 2006, this Smart has been very well looked after having had 14 services which are documented in the history folder. We are advised by the vendor that this Roadster drives with no known faults and is very reliable. It is supplied with a V5 registration document together with a current MoT test certificate valid until 1st March 2026, original handbooks and two sets of keys. The canvas roof is in good condition although we are advised it is a little stiff in operation due to lack of use. Production ended in 2006 and the Final Edition remains a sought-after collector’s car today.
It encapsulated a time when Smart was exploring bold, unconventional designs, and the Roadster, with its playful spirit, has cemented its place as a quirky but cherished model in automotive history. Consigned by Stewart Banks
