Hi, looking for an atom but don't know much about them at all. Ive spotted one advertised at Sytner solihull and wondered if anyone knew the car or had any opinions on it for price, options, condition etc?

Thanks, Chris

Call the factory, they will be able to tell you the history. Also, if you buy it, make the sale on condition it is factory inspected.

Hi Chris,

It looks like the car has a decent spec (Alcons all round, adjustable dampers, handbrake kit, brake bias adjuster, cf dash etc) but it's hard to see much more from the ad. It's also got a bespoke frame, so someone has spent a few quid on it!

Give Ariel a call and they will tell you everything about it, including if they have serviced it. This will be the biggest indicator as to how well it's been looked after and therefore its true value. They are excellent at this so don't be afraid to call them.

Cheers,
Stu

Registered in Worcester, which is unusual. Wonder if it was unregistered and used just for track initially so older than it appears. VIN will have the year in it.

I think this might be Welshman's car .. ?
He was based close to Worcester - the car used to have a private plate.

It's been on the market a couple of times, so quite a few owners probably ..

Hi was in Sytner Solihull at the weekend, didnt see it and still seems to be available (well online...) They do have a stock depot a few mins away from the showroom

If you want me to go give it the once with my limited Atom experience let me know! :tu:

See this thread about this car https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/top ... &t=1790120

It looks like someone else enquired about it to the factory and they decided to steer clear. Be interesting to know why.
