More than 4,000 people attended this year's one-day Smart festival at Mercedes-Benz World, Weybridge, at the weekend.
Some 1,420 Smart vehicles were also in attendance at the event on Saturday (September 4th).
A record-breaking 370 people had a test drive in the Smart ForTwo electric vehicle throughout the course of the day.
"The record attendance of this year's Smart festival underlines the fact that even ten years after its UK launch the Smart continues to attract more and more people to its unique driving and ownership experience," said Gary Savage, managing director of Mercedes-Benz Cars.
At the festival, awards were handed out for the Most Modified, Best Kept and Best Dressed Smart vehicles.
Last month, Smart celebrated the tenth anniversary of the arrival of its right-hand drive models in the UK with the launch of an exclusive new edition – the Smart ForTwo gb-10.
The metallic silver car, which has a red design feature, was on display at the Smart festival.
