Beaulieu’s much-loved Simply Smart returns on Sunday 9^th November.  Inviting all smart car owners to come and celebrate these compact cars in the grounds of the National Motor Museum.

The event, now in its fourth year, has become a favourite with owners and enthusiasts alike.  In addition to the original Smart fortwo model, which is always well-represented at the event, Simply Smart promises to bring together some of its quirkier variants, such as the sporty roadster, the family forfour and even the roofless, limited edition Crossblade, while rarities such as an electric powered example will also be on show.

Beaulieu Events Co-ordinator Charlotte Mountain explains: ‘We are very pleased to welcome back this hugely popular event in Beaulieu’s calendar, which always features an eclectic mix of different Smart cars in a fantastic range of colours. Simply Smart always proves what a huge following these small cars have and it is great that many owners who attend choose to personalise their cars to reflect their personalities.’

Visitors to Beaulieu will have the chance to vote for their favourite Smart car of the day, deciding the winner of the People’s Choice Award. The awards will be presented in the afternoon, with the winner receiving a Beaulieu Trophy and the chance to lead the top ten cars voted for, in a cavalcade through the parkland.

Participants can also enjoy all of the delights of the Beaulieu attraction, including the National Motor Museum’s two new displays for 2014. For Britain & For The Hell Of It features the museum’s iconic British Land Speed Record cars and is accompanied by a stunning audio-visual presentation of British Land Speed Record achievement.
