Re: Atoms for sale - information thread
As of 22/01/19, 6th Gear Experience are in administration so perhaps they are having to sell off their fleet. They are selling one of their Atoms - a 2005 Supercharged 2 with 59k miles - with only 4 photos though. It has no MOT history since 2008, not surprisingly. It had a a £1 start price, with no reserve, but has already gone up to £5k as I have been typing this! Might be a good buy for someone.

Re: Atoms for sale - information thread
Only 59k miles!
If it has been well maintained then this maybe a bargain and would make a very good trackday car - the K20 engines go on for at least 250k miles so barely run in
However as always it needs a thorough inspection at that age, mileage and experience day history
Edit: No handbrake so dodgy MOT and would invalidate any standard insurance, chassis looks later than 2005 suggests with rollover loop fitment base and side panel lugs

Re: Atoms for sale - information thread
Depends on what it goes for but I expect it will be more than the £5k it's currently bidding at. Those engines are quite cheap so you could even replace it if its knackered assuming you get a good price for the car. It does, at least from pictures look well used, steering wheel looks polished, seats look worn. So whoever goes for it might need new seats, new steering wheel, might need painting and these are things you can see only.
couple more pictures here: https://www.6thgearexperience.com/all-cars/ariel/ What is the goldfish looking bowl on the dash?

Re: Atoms for sale - information thread
New steering wheel is £100 from Merlin sport and is exactly the one that Ariel uses. Replacement seat is ~£800 iirc
The bowls on the dash are bubble wind deflectors which are an optional extra for mk2.

Re: Atoms for sale - information thread
Do you mean the 2 "Bubbles" ?
This was an option prior to the Gun Sights introduction on the Atom '3'

Atom 3 310 Supercharged (2011), Now Sold
Re: Atoms for sale - information thread
Yes the 2 bubble looking things. They look terrible. If I had this car, I'd have to replace with the gun-sights.
Re: Atoms for sale - information thread
That one has now been removed so I guess it has sold. Be interesting to know what it sold for but we may never know.

Re: Atoms for sale - information thread
Someone made him an offer, he then removed it to avoid ebay fees would be my best guess. Prob ~£20k I would guess it's worth. It's very expensive to sell a car on ebay, I certainly would not do it.
Re: Atoms for sale - information thread
It's only £15 - if classified advertisement
Auction is 1%
I've sold many cars through Ebay @ £15 a shot. Pistonheads is free if you are a long term member.
Last time I used a broker which cost me £1500 flat fee and no hassle.

Re: Atoms for sale - information thread
Isn't it more than that? 9% I read somewhere. Could be out of date info, whenever I have sold anything on there it's always been far cheaper other ways.
