Hedge, I'm not sure about the Nomad either. My reasons are similar, as I can't see where I can go off road and if you do, you have to resign yourself to two days cleaning. It has to be a better on road car to make it viable. I have 15 inch Geolanders and on my local roads it tramlines all over the p...

The real question, is would you purchase this car knowing its history?

I see Backdraft MOTORSPORT were recommended on the recent Pistonheads article, however the above comments don't match the Pistonheads recommendation. Has anyone any other comments to make since this original thread was started?

Jack, as you say it's the INTERNET and everyone has an opinion until you talk to them face to face.

Good luck with the project and yes we can all learn from your rebuild. Furthermore, it won't be a cheap experience either.

Keep the vids rolling.

The process of rectification totally scares me, if they are being serious with their diagnosis and chassis repair.

What a fantastic Atom, I was thinking of trading my Nomad for that, it looks absolutely stunning.

Congratulations, looks like a fantastic tarmac weapon.

Welcome to the Forum Birlywing.

It's an Ariel ACE, maybe a few pictures?

Fantastic news. What spec did you go for?

Saw that - I thought it was Castrol GTX.

Not an Atom, but I just pull the Nomad out and push it in, it's so light. Width isn't a problem.

Alan - you have more guts than ever I will. That car is ballistic.

Cheers - just paid for it.

Maybe the wife not travel is not to do with the car but to do with the driver.... suggest she changes the driver and see if that works lol

Small world, and same daft brains. Unfortunately, she is a bit crook these days. GLWS.

NuttyNat - curious are you from Swindon?

On the For Sale side of things, wife won't travel with me, which was the idea behind the purchase and thus causing debate at home, maybe another for sale.
