Bessy Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I saw Smiles (or Smilely?) The Smart today, Yellow & Black 451 in Burlington on Cumberland/Prospect. Tons of Yellow Smiley faces all over inside and out. Very nice eye grabber! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJV Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Saw this smart with trailer in Prince Rupert, BC on October 2. I've seen it several times before, parked near the ferry terminal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albertaaw Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hi, today while walking to the downtown area of Wellington, New Zealand, we found the 2005 smart Roadster shown in the photos below. We had seen it another time, but I didn't have my camera with me. It is quite a beauty! Photos probably don't do justice to it. Maybe we'll see it again!

MikeT Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I looked up its VIN: WME4523342L036363 Yeah, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 If you see any Peugeot 404s there, please record the license plates for me! I can look up the VINs that way.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertaaw Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 What are distinguishing characteristics of the Peugeot 404? I'm not familiar with them. We do see lots of different cars here. Neat you could find the roadsters VIN from the license plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albertaaw Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Here's a smart seen in Waikanae, New Zealand, about an hour north of Wellington on January 27th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E_Fahlman Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'm surprised that no one has spotted me in the Vancouver area; @ Mike T - what's the point of posting the Vin # ? am I missing something?Side Note: I just realized as I was uploading the photo's I've owned my 450 exactly one year today and absolute love it! Wish I had bought one sooner but couldn't afford it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I have every Canadian smart VIN in a huge Excel file, so when one is spotted with VIN, I can add some detail to the file (colour, options etc). I already have a location for all Canadian smarts.The New Zealand smart with the VIN posted above is just a lark, NZ has a VIN lookup from license plates, it's free and online.

GoFaster Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I have every Canadian smart VIN in a huge Excel file, so when one is spotted with VIN, I can add some detail to the file (colour, options etc). I already have a location for all Canadian smarts.Here's an edit for your spreadsheet. Model 451 number 146469 is now mine. Yellow with silver frame, Passion. I know from the other thread that it came to Canada in May 2008 ... hopefully late enough in the production year to avoid some of the early-production glitches!

Huronlad Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I do not think that Mike T is tracking the 451 at all.They were still fixing mechanical issues into 2009 IIRC. There are also software improvements right up to this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Actually I do keep a 451 list but I am not actively seeking new entries by combing through online ads. So thanks and I will add it. This 451 excel sheet can be passed to any Club member who wants to maintain it. I have been concentrating on the 450s... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzipan Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Today driving along west broadway in Vancouver around 1:30pm i saw a roadster (similar to the above pictures) but without the fastback hatch. it was coming toward me so i didn't get a picture but it had a black license plate with yellow numbers? It took me a while to register what it was as I haven't seen one since I moved away from Europe in '05. Anyone else seen it aruond? Also, anyone know how they got it into the country?

MikeT Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 It's probably a visitor's car....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
