Hi there, I live pretty close and owned 2 atoms, just sold my BAC Mono and am now in a lotus 3-11. Will you be trying to get a licenseplate on it?
I really liked the YouTube videos on your Mono. The 3-11 is another fantastic car, but how come you decided to move way from the Mono?
Bit of topic hijack, but I sold it due to it being worth really, and I mean REALLY a lot of money to a workslave like me. But it was a dream and I knew I had to achieve it BEFORE brexit and I knew it would be worth more after I register it in NL. So took the plunge, had 5000 insanely cool km’s and now sold it and for that amount of money I bought the 3-11, a 6000 mile clio trophy racecar (with license plate), a carlift and garage overhaul, a paid off extra shed for more cars and storage and kept money in the bank to buy one more car
So mostly due to money reasons and after you owned it I could not justify keeping so much cash locked up in one car and not be able to drive the whole season.
Well, you have the actual value of the car itself (can hurt when you crash it), and the running costs...your BAC Mono must have been an epic drive, but I can perfectly feel what your dilemma was...I had thesame with my GT3 Cup (I am also a workslave and very limited financially speaking when it comes to my passion for cars), advantage of these cars is when you service them like it should, they retain good value (but costs hands full of money) and in your situation you played very smart with the registration too, fantastic. For me personally concerning the GT3 Cup car...I have been there and done that, it was one of my dreams and am happy I could drive it 3 years on track. Looking very much forward to the Atom 4 now as I am hoping it will give me sort like "pure" feeling as I had in my Go-Karting period end of the nineties here in the Belgian competition...
