SB's Take

  • ULEZ-compliant, ultra-low mileage example with just 11,700 miles from new
  • UK-supplied Brabus model with only two owners recorded
  • Finished in Silver Metallic over Black Leather upholstery
Finding a Smart Fortwo Brabus is relatively easy. Finding one with just 11,732 miles, two owners and a documented Mercedes-Benz service history is considerably more difficult, and we’re thrilled to be bringing this example to the platform. Conceived specifically for congested city environments, its compact dimensions, innovative packaging and distinctive styling made it unlike anything else on the road. For those seeking additional performance and exclusivity, Smart turned to renowned German tuning specialist Brabus. The result was the Fortwo Brabus, a considerably more focused interpretation featuring increased turbocharged power, revised suspension, unique alloy wheels, upgraded interior trim and a more aggressive exterior appearance. This 2005 example presents beautifully in Silver Metallic, a colour that suits the Fortwo's distinctive Tridion safety cell particularly well. The Brabus-specific styling enhancements, larger alloy wheels and twin centre-exit exhaust system provide a purposeful stance that remains instantly recognisable two decades later. Most impressive, however, is the mileage. Having covered just 11,700 miles from new and passed through only two owners, this example has clearly enjoyed a carefully preserved life. Such low mileage examples rarely become available, particularly in UK supplied Brabus specification. Compact enough to fit almost anywhere yet packed with character, the Fortwo Brabus remains one of the most entertaining and distinctive modern city cars available. With interest in early Smart models continuing to grow, especially limited production and performance variants, this exceptional example offers both driving enjoyment and collectability in equal measure. This ULEZ compliant vehicle is ready to be enjoyed immediately. As always, the seller is available to answer all questions via the Comments section below. Buyers should bid with confidence.
