With only one plant in the world, that is located in France, is the ED being built in the UK after all?

Good Question,
The 1/2 answer is it is being built for the London Market where their are strict limitations to the cars in the city

Still only one smart plant - Hambach, France.

...London Market where their are strict limitations to the cars in the city...

Not really limitations; just that every car within the boundaries of the city tax zone must pay a daily fee (Congestion Charge.)

We have a friend whose b/f is working on the "Th!nk". He brings one home from time to time, sometimes keeping it for a week. They keep saying they will bring it by the house so we can see it. If they ever do, you can bet there will be a pic of it next to "Lil Panda" on here!

From what I had read some time ago, they were still produced in smartville but were being converted to ED in the UK. But like I said, that was some time ago and they were 450's (like in the pic at the beginning of this thread), NOT 451's.
