Chris-Any links to info on the Smarto's or is that a project you have kept secret from us!

Norm-You can call it what you want
You are also correct about the attempt to restart the project-In 2006, David James initiated Project Kimber, an attempt to restart production of the Smart Roadster in the United Kingdom. Initially intended to be rebadged as an MG model,[1] after an unsuccessful bid for the MG marque, the revised Roadster was later referred to as the AC Ace.[2] However, as of 2013, the project appears to be dormant (Nicked of Wikipedia)
