Surprisingly Smart move - a photo on Flickriver

            Interesting finds at my local flea market, albeit not at the same time, were these little plastic Smart cars in approximately 1/76 scale. They are marked as Smart licensed products but with no manufacturer's name so they remained a mystery for a while. Their origins came as something of a 'Surprise' as they turned out to have been made as part of a marketing tie-up between Smart and the Kinder chocolate company and were originally found inside Kinder Surprise eggs! The Roadster Coupe was my first purchase and is still in original condition; the following year I discovered its sister ForTwo and being red I decided to modify it for my fire brigade fleet, inspired by real ones operated by Cheshire FRS. The range is completed by a ForFour and the Crossbow concept car but I haven't yet managed to acquire those; I never got anything this good in a Kinder egg when I was young!
