MikeT Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 After the success of the grandstyle and nightrun registries, I thought it would be time to get a registry going for the BRABUS edit10n cars that were limited to ten units only for Canada. Since there are only ten of them in the whole of Canada, there is some chance that we might eventually find them all. So far we have four on the list, as below: Serial number - number /10 - location 251906 - edit10n No. 7/10, Vancouver BC 232651 - edit10n No. ?/10, Vancouver BC (auto show car) 246344 - edit10n No. 6/10, Montréal QC 248220 - edit10n No. ?/10, Victoria BC Two of the spotted cars did not have dash plaques with the number out of ten visible! There are six more out there. If anyone sees one in a dealership or on the street, please record the location and the last six numbers of the VIN! Cheers Quote

smartride Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 251906 - edit10n No. 7/10, VancouverThe LAST 2009 smart COUPE available in Vancouver - at West Broadway Mercedes-Benz store.2010 smart fortwo's have yet to be released. No pricing available at this time. Quote
planedriver Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Sat in the one in T.O. Today. Nice seats. $34k a little much for a couple stickers and black rims. Quote
MikeT Posted January 10, 2010 Author Posted January 10, 2010 It's cheap compared to the $108,000 451 BRABUS smart I sat in on the BRABUS stand at the Frankfurt auto show a few months ago! I should imagine that stripping the car to the bare tridion for the respray and reassembling it again after the whole car is metallic grey is the majority of the cost. Quote
planedriver Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 holy crap really? why so much? He'd let the Edition 10 go for $27K he told me. Quote
MikeT Posted January 10, 2010 Author Posted January 10, 2010 Yeah 6 or 7 grand off, not bad, makes it almost worth it Quote

smartzuuk Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Those LOL can come back to haunt... although I am thinking the frontrunner is a silver 2011 Brabus coupe.(I am in Victoria right now with our 2008 pure, which may get traded...) Quote

Talgas Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Just to help complete the registry. Brabus Edit10n #5/10, VIN WMEEJ331XX9K244192 is located in Edmonton. It was at my dealership (not a Mercedes dealership) today to have service work done.The owner lives in Edmonton as well. It's not a vehicle from out of town.Craig Quote

edit10n Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) I don't have The VIN's but one was sold to Robert Herjavec from Dragons Den and two others were sold in Toronto - one to a guy that lived in Toronto and one that lived just north of the city. It looks like you have two of them on your list, but not Herjavecs which IIRC was car 1/10 and the very first one sold. Edited February 7, 2015 by edit10n Quote
MikeT Posted February 7, 2015 Author Posted February 7, 2015 Thank you, so I have identified the unknown one as No.4 on the basis of your information and have a lead on finding the VIN of No.1 so thanks again! Bit of advice, get Mercedes to write you up a certificate of authenticity for the car if you haven't already. They're very special, being BRABUS Tailor Made, and therefore are worth a lot more than a regular 2009 smart. In the dealer system, it would show up as a regular passion. Quote
