As far as I know, only the factory can supply these.

Not surprised - great price!

I believe the factory are offering up to c.500bhp, although that will include changing the internals and will be very costly. They offered an additional version of the 3.5R package that involved opening up the K20 - I believe it was quoted at 367bhp, vs 350bhp as standard and the factory admitted it...

A lot of people seem to buy Atoms in order to "scratch an itch" often because they saw Top Gear or because of an experience day and sell them within a year or even sooner. They don’t really depreciate, so the risk is minimal, hence so many having had multiple owners in a short period of ti...

I believe they are made especially for Skunkwurx, so not available anywhere else. Have you tried emailing them at all? The owner used to be a frequent poster on here. For other possible wing options, the Ariel Club Facebook group is great for advice and info https://www.facebook.com/groups/ariel.club

Thanks for the tip re Gerbing, thought I’d try these out to see if they’re worth it… just had delivery today, got the jacket and the gloves, very impressed, just need to spend a little time making the cables neat! Make sure you get the helmet fitted, whichever one you go for. I have a Roof Boxxer, ...

Make sure you get the helmet fitted, whichever one you go for. I have a Roof Boxxer, because that's what the factory used to use, but they are quite noisy. Speaking of which, buy some ear protection too, or some noise cancelling ear buds - wind noise is a killer at speed. In terms of gloves, I'd rec...

No problem. The na Atom is still ballistically fast and more than adequate for road use, but once you've tried a supercharged car, it's difficult not to be tempted by the noise and the way it fires you towards the horizon with a banshee wail! I only use mine on road and I would really miss the super...

Welcome. Firstly, I would wait until the Spring when more cars will be advertised and so you will have more choice. Based on your criteria, my thoughts: £30k - You won't get a 3.5 for that £35k - A lower-spec non-supercharged 3.5, with 15k+ miles £40k - A lower-spec supercharged 3.5, with 25k+ miles...

One thing you may want to check out is whether any insurance companies will even cover it if it isn't in a locked garage. All the quotes I have ever received have had this as a stipulation, even to the point that if it is left outside at my home address overnight, it isn't covered...

Thanks for that. Looking at the factory car above, I get just over £136k!

Would you be interested in selling the front and rear uprights separately or are they fitted already?

Well you live and learn! Denis Palatov of Palatov uprights fame.

Make that the 2nd V8 Atom in the US.

As many of you may know, Jay Leno has a supercharged Atom 2. It was the first customer-delivered Atom 2 in the US I believe. It was built by Brammos and uses a 2 litre GM Ecotec engine, which from what I understand was never a great engine. Jay put up a video last month in which he shows the early s...

There's a set on Facebook Marketplace that's been for sale for a while. Might be worth a cheeky offer...
