Mercedes-Benz has an A-Class Special Edition on sale, priced from £14,490.

Based on the A-Class Classic SE model, the Special comes in a wide choice of petrol or diesel engines, in both three-door and five-door versions, and gets a fair bit of extra equipment, including distinctive 16-inch, seven-spoke alloy wheels and seven-spoke styling.

The well-equipped interior has special cloth upholstery and aluminium interior trim. The package also includes cruise control with a variable speed limiter.
