Atom 3 245 for sale

[danbevan]

Hi there!

I’m selling my Ariel Atom 3 245. You’ll notice i’ve only been an Atom owner for just under a year, but last month i was given an unexpected chance to buy the car i’d hankered after for a few years, and always promised myself i’d buy if i could - a Porsche 911 CSR custom road + track car, built by my local Porsche specialist, RPM Technik.

Sadly i don’t have the space for (or talents for justifying!) keeping both cars, so i’ve decided to sell the Atom.

I bought it in September ’21 from Castle Motors in Cornwall. However the car has a long history with Ariel, and has previously been owned by fellow Atom forum member @mypresenthome

Since buying the car i’ve bought a full windscreen + side panel kit, the side panels i’ve not yet had the chance to put on the car, but will be included. It’s done a half day track outing at Bedford, and a total of 700 miles in my ownership.

I’ve kept it in a secure and heated garage, and i’d describe the car’s condition as very very good (thanks to mypresenthome!). I’ll be really sad not to have the car for as long as i’d planned, but needs must, and i’d like to see it find a new owner who can really appreciate these amazing cars.

I’ve tried to list all the details below, but i’m happy to send more photo’s / videos if needed. Located in Farnham Common, near Beaconsfield in South Buckinghamshire (5 minutes from the M40).

From the original ad: The car is well known at the factory and has been maintained there throughout its life, any parts that were advised have been renewed. There is a large amount of paperwork detailing its history at the factory. It is in very clean condition and still drives beautifully.

I wanted to post the ad here on the forum before widening the net on other sale sites.

Not looking to make money, only to return my investment in the car, and for it to find a good home.

£35,000 ono

Thanks
