Atom 4 Ordered...
...just need to wait 3 years for them to build it!
Currently have an FK8 Type R and a Caterham 420R - I can only imagine how fast the Atom will be with the (modified) Type R engine in.
Absolutely love my 420R but it will be 5 years old by the time the Atom comes and will probably fancy a change by then - I thought about a 620R but the fit/finish/reliability of the Atom swung me - plus I am 6 1 (97kg) with size 13 feet and whilst I can just about cope with the peddle box on the 420 - it will be nice to be able to heel and toe properly again!
Just waiting now for Henry to let me go for a test drive now and go over some spec with him once the lockdown is lifted.
Oh, and my wife isn't happy...I'm waiting to tell her I need to rebuild our 1930's garage for it to fit in to.

Re: Atom 4 Ordered...
Great news... do tell us though if Ariel let you have a test drive, as it's been a big negative point as people so far haven't been allowed to.
Re: Atom 4 Ordered...
It's on my order form - so I'm definitely getting one. I think they may have made an exception because I placed the order blind in the lockdown. I'll be sure to report back once I've driven it!
Re: Atom 4 Ordered...
I don't suppose Ariel will be allowed to take customers out for the test ride thanks to social distancing rules, therefore, maybe test drives are back on the agenda?
From Atom 2 245 to Atom 4 350, via Atom 3 300 and Atom 3.5 310
Re: Atom 4 Ordered...
The current situation with test drives is insurance related, I believe.

Re: Atom 4 Ordered...

Surely they don’t pay their own ?

Im sure you’re right John, especially the you tubers and the like.
It would be good if test drives were allowed from here on, let’s see.
