Search Mercadolibre.com.mx and you will sometimes see roadsters for sale. Of course, you'll have to move to Mexico to buy one.

Headless, you know I want a roadster as bad as I want a fortwo...

The rarity is insane! 5,000 ever made, possibly less than 50 in the US.

And don't make me post a wishlist...too late...

1. smart fortwo (451)
2. smart roadster (452)
3. smart crossblade
4. smart city coupe (450)
5. smart forfour
6. smart formore concept
7. smart crosstown concept
8. Mercedes-Benz NAFA concept
9. Any other smart concepts (fashion victim, etc.)

I guess I can safely say that I'm a smart freak?

my chassis is up in the 27,000's.
There were about 35,000 made, they cost Mercedes £18,500 to build and sold them in Britain for £13,5000, do the math.
If they ever do another roady, they are going to have to get there sums right this time, so they might not be as cheap this time.

and Yeah, I could go for a roadster if smart ever decided to make them again and import to the US. . .
I think it would be the Smart thing to do. With this economy and high gas prices, the roadster would mean one can have fun driving and be green too.

Nope, got that wrong too, I was in a crossblade last week, my friend has just bought one, what a bonkers little car, and he is somewhat of an authority on them, so this is what I learned last week.
There were 2,000 chassis plates made for the crossblade, but not all of them were built, and towards the end they did'nt go sequencially, so they say they don't know the exact amount built, and they mothballed a certain amount of chassis's and built them later, so all that is known is there is under 2,000 Crossblades.
We were sat in the pub carpark in the Blade and I was just about about to be allowed to drive it, when the wife came out and said we had to get home, so I will have to wait to the next meet to have a go.

WIFE FOR SALE, FREE TO A GOOD HOME, OR NOT SO GOOD, WHATEVER.
DOES'NT COOK, DOES'NT CLEAN, BUT GUARANTEED TO HAVE A PERMANANT SCOWL ON HER FACE ESPECIALLY AT SMART MEETS.

Actually, I knew there were about 2,000 crossblades, I'm trying to think where did I get my 5,000 figure from.

I mean finding out about how many crossblades were made is as easy as a Google search!

Now where did I get 5,000 from? forfours? Nah...
