The Smart Scene Book by Julie Saltmarsh & Tom Crawford

The smart Scene by Tom Crawford and Julie Saltmarsh

This new book written by Julie Saltmarsh (with some hindrance from Tom) and photography by Tom Crawford is a semi-autobiographical account of the smart and its incredible rise in popularity in the UK.

This unique book, containing over 400 full colour photographs of smarts, owners and rallies held over the past four years, humorously documents the smart scene directly from the viewpoint of these two smart owners, who have been involved in the world of these wonderful cars since 2002.

The book also brings to the public eye the first detailed photographs of a smart being constructed within Smartville, the smart factory in Hambach.

Not since the factory opened has anyone been allowed to document and publish such images in depth!

For the main part, this book is about the fantastic owners of the smart, and the amazing times that have been had at the numerous meetings and rallies held around the country, and Tom’s brilliant photos bring to life the wonderful people and fabulous cars that make the smart scene the incredible place it is today.
