Hi Nigel,
First off welcome!
Let's cut to the chase:
Yes, it's worth the asking price.
Yes, it's a good fit for what you want to do.
Now in a bit more detail. Any Atom is going to be good round a track, it's principally what they're designed and built for. Each of the options that are then chosen (because the car really does start as a blank canvas), can be more road oriented (central brake lights, locking fuel caps) or track (eg. baffled sump or race needle roller bell cranks).
The car you've chosen has definitely gone down the track route more than the road. Yes you could do more track/race options (eg. Chromoloy wishbones, plumbed in fire extinguisher)... but what you have has very little road flab, and is a good long way along the track route.
Depending how hard you can push this there are even more things you could consider if you've got the £££.
