I'm really sad to be selling my Atom which I've owned since new.

When I originally ordered it, I told my wife I'd keep it for a couple of years and then put the funds towards a small Utility Room extension and a new kitchen - that was 7 years ago!

I retire in 2 weeks and need to start the house project so have exhausted all excuses ..
I'm out but hopefully not for good ..

I'm taking it to the factory tomorrow - they will service and MOT it, fit a pair of new rear tyres and are selling it for me.

This is a fantastic Atom for any prospective purchaser, John is fastidious about looking after his car.

On a personal note, I hope that the boys at the Factory persuade you to reinvest in a replacement!

^^What he said.

There can’t be a more fastidious owner out there than John. If I were in the market for such a car, I’d bite his hand off.

P.S. Just order a 4 now, John. Won’t be ready for a couple of years & you can drum up another excuse or two by then, surely? Plus the deposit is cock all, so.....#justdoit

Thanks for the nice comments guys !

Car is now handed over to Henry and am sitting in Haselbury Mill garden consoling myself with beer!

The '4' was parked outside with the covers off, so took some more pics of stuff I missed at Goodwood.

Nooo John don't do it!

If you have to do it then do what Hedge said and stick a deposit on a 4!!

You are always welcome in my car car as co-pilot in the meantime

John? Who's taken John? It can't be the real John announcing this!

No one is allowed to buy this car. John must not sell it. Unless of course he puts a deposit down on a 4...
