WE ARE BIG FANS OF THESE LITTLE SMART 4/2'S AND THE 451 MODELS ARE IN OUR OPINION THE BEST OF THE THREE VERSIONS PRODUCED, THE MIDDLE VERSION 451'S WERE A HUGE STEP UP ON THE ORIGINAL 600/700CC 450 MODELS AND WERE LIKE THE 4/4'S WERE MADE WITH THE HELP AND INPUT OF JAPANESE MANUFACTURER MITSUBISHI. FEATURING A FAR MORE ROBUST 999CC ENGINE THESE PROVED TO BE SUPER RELIABLE IN CONTRAST TO THE EARLIER MODEL 450'S, THE FINAL VERSIONS DESIGNATED AS MODEL 453 WERE MADE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH RENAULT BUT WERE NEVER AS POPULAR OR AS "SMART CAR" LIKE AS THE EARLIER MODELS, THIS IS THE "PULSE" VARIANT AND WAS THE SPORTIER VERSION THAT YOU COULD SPEC UP. TO AN EVEN HIGHER LEVEL THAN THE MORE EXPENSIVE TOP OF THE RANGE PASSION MODELS, THEY CAME AS STANDARD WITH WIDER ALLOY WHEELS AND PADDLE SHIFT STEERING WHEEL JUST LIKE THE TOP OF THE RANGE "BRABUS" MODELS WHICH MADE THEM FAR EASIER AND MORE FUN TO DRIVE WITH IMPROVED ROAD HOLDING. THIS PARTICULAR CAR HAS A/C AS WELL AND THE SOFT TOUCH FULL AUTO OPTION SO THE CAR CAN BE DRIVEN AS AN AUTOMATIC. VERY LOW MILEAGE WITH BAGS OF SERVICE HISTORY JUST £20 A YEAR ROAD TAX AND OF COURSE IT'S FULLLY ULEZ COMPLIANT TOO ! GREAT VALUE AND FUN CHEAP MOTORING.
