A smart Gen 1
example, with critically, the later IMS bearing which solves the bearing failure
issue as detailed by the Porsche workshop manual and Porsche Owners Club
which suggest later 997.1 cars post engine number 68509791 have the larger
revised IMS – this example looks to have the later engine and as such the
revised IMS.
Ready to be enjoyed, this smart car has the more appealing
wider body shape, more powerful S engine with manual ‘box and only 68,270 miles
