First thing to state is the obvious ... despite the official Smart colour being "black", a simple glance at the photo will reveal the most evident colour actually being "red'. Had there been an option to select "red & black", that would have been selected. The reason for selling is that mum (in her mid 80's) is no longer able to drive. She has owned the car since new. Only 40k miles in 8 years is way below average mileage. Full service history and no accidents mean that the vehicle is in as good a shape as could be.
