Well, the rumor
is now reality – DaimlerChrysler has agreed in principle to sell the rights to the Smart roadster to the British
‘Project Kimber’ consortium headed by David James. James’ group has apparently signed a memorandum of understanding
with DaimlerChrysler that covers both the rights to produce the roadster and DaimlerChrysler’s production equipment for
the car.
It’s probably fitting that the country that brought us the Spridget should be the new home for this
21st century mini-roadster.
