Best of luck hope it works out.

Good luck to you , hope it all works out well . 

as most on here will know i have had 4 (technically 2 as i didnt have 2 of them long enough) 454s and have maintained them meticulously, with very little costs spared as i am a Jaguar trained technician of 19 years and have become very familiar with this unique Smart model.

with the uncertain times in the motor trade, with JLR, and the rumored closure of the dealer where i work in September, by then i will have been in the motor trade for 20 years, i am considering taking on more 'side jobs' and all being well, i am hoping to make a name for myself as a 454/Jaguar specialist. there appears to be a gap in the market in the Leeds area for an independent that will work on 454s as other garages either jack up the price because 'its a mercedes' or outright refuse to work on them.

in the beginning i will be selective with the work i will take on, as i will be working on the floor with jacks and axel stands, so if there is anyone in the Leeds and surrounding areas that needs any work or servicing, im your man.

so either drop me a message here or on 07965511981 if you need any maintenance carrying out on your 454 and i will get back to you with a price.

Edit. Just seen it, London is way out for me unfortunately.

still doesnt stop me from going, and im in Leeds.

Where is this meeting taking place?

I’ve covered mine with a ‘fly eyes’ vinyl, so the scratches aren’t visible and there is still some transparency. 😏

 (sans the rear spoiler, I've not had a chance to work on that just yet. If it's not a Brabus one I may know where there is one for sale.

I'll be there in my 454 as well (sans the rear spoiler, I've not had a chance to work on that just yet though the remants of the original are on the back seat). Neither of the 450's are ready for a long trip just yet.

I'll probably have a tape measure with me for measuring the OEM spoiler dimensions.

i will try my best to come.

I'll be there in my Brabus, so at least there'll be 3 if not 4 of our beloved 454's
