Ariel Atom 3.5R owners?

[Yogiatom]

I know numbers are low, but just how many Atom 3.5R owners are on here?
Does the factory know how many were made?
Also how many of each colour frame were made?

Does the 12 you were told about include upgraded cars?

Is that 12 with sequentials, for me the definition of the 'R' TBH

[CAG3D]

Nope, Henry told me approx 12 in TOTAL, he estimated 50% with the box. So half a dozen or so.

Mines manual, and is definitely classed as a 3.5R.

I may still take my car back to the factory for the Sadev upgrade, chassis repaint etc

I’ll spend more time in the Nomad R, just to make sure. The box transforms the car, but not all for the better, but different

The manual box suits the 3.5R IMO

From doing a bit of research on here, Google & Facebook:

- 4 on here (Yogiatom black chassis, manual; Alan P white chassis, Sadev; CAG3D white chassis, manual; Sir Nick black chassis, manual)
- 1 for sale for on Autotrader & eBay £69,950 (black chassis, manual, 18 reg.)
- 1 sold on Racecarsdirect.com (silver chassis, manual, 64 reg.)
- 1 sold by Nev Wood in July 2021 (black chassis, Sadev, 65 reg.)
- 3 showing as sold on Ariel's website (white chassis, Sadev, 2015; orange chassis,, Sadev, 2015; silver chassis, manual, 2017)
- 1 listed by Ariel in April 2018 (black chassis, manual,)
- 1 on YouTube posted by TerrorStain (black chassis, reg. no. B20WME)
- 1 on TouTube posted by Chris Dymondracing (black chassis, manual)
- 1 in France (gunmetal, manual)
- 1 in Hong Kong (white chassis, manual, 2016)
- 1 in Malaysia (red chassis, manual)
- 1 x Australia (gunmetal chassis, Sadev)
17 in total which appear 3.5 based, 5 with Sadev

- 3 x Atom 3 upgraded to 3.5 spec ( Autobackup gunmetal, manual, in Cyprus; ArBrMD white chassis, manual, in Belgium; Anmar gunmetal, in Cornwall)

20 in total, including upgraded cars.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few others lurking around...

You have a lot of time on your hands

All I know is I had a conversation last year with Henry, and he said approx 12, of which approx 50% were Sadev

I would like to add these 2 to the list, based in Belgium and Sweden, afaik.

[Fastlane]

The Belgian one is referred to in my post above (it was previously owned by the Belgian importer).

I have made upgraded 7 french Atom to 350hp at the factory some years ago, some with 3 châssis and some with 3.5 chassis upgrade. All manual. Several with Ohlins.
My own definition of a real 3.5R is 350hp, Alcon all round, Ohlins and Sadev. Aerofoils optionnal.
Others, manual ones, are just Atom 3 or 3.5 with 350 hp.
