Wanted: Atom 2 (245)

Post by Oli1122 » Sun Apr 27, 2014 5:25 pm

Hi everybody!

after selling my Elise i'm in search of an Atom 2 245 or 300.

After a lot of reading and searching for informations and details I prefer the following specs.

- Registration 2006 or previous
- Hondata (KPro) ECU
- Road package
- Alcon Brake Kit with Handbrake
- Baffled Sump

Milage is also not that important… more important for me is vehicle which has been a very good maintenance (complete service history) and good overall condition.

As I imported previous vehicles from the UK... LHD or RHD is not that big of deal for me.
If you have something to offer please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Greets
Oliver

This one looks nice...as always check with the factory for cars history. And this is a 3 245!

That's a nice car, but I think for European reg, it needs to be 2006 or earlier

Hello Bruce,

indeed a very nice car but unfortunately Bruce is right with the limitation of the registration date.
It's crucial to get a registration 2006 or earlier.

What kind of budget do you have? I may be tempted to sell my 2005 2/245 with a view to upgrading.

Lustig, wo man Leute aus anderen Foren wiedertrifft  ;)

Hi Oliver,

If you are looking for a "2" its first registration should had been before 2006 because of EURO 3.
If your budget allows it you can also look for a "3" with first registration before 2012 (please doublecheck), because of EURO 4.
The K20Z4 fulfills EURO 4, while the K20A does not.

You could also look for a 2 with an MBE ECU and replace the ECU afterwards very easily by one with OBD interface. Price would be about 1000€ (to be honest I was not the one to find out this solution ;))

If you need basic information regarding German registration I may be able to help you.

Regards

@hmtt
in the end all depends on condition and mileage… something around 24-27k i would say.

I think your budget is a bit tight, or is it in pounds? I have a very nice Dutch registered 2 for sale on mobile, but I'm sure you found it all ready. Good luck with the search.
