And the seat belts have been replaced both sides - as far as I know the factory only fit Willans...

I thought it looked familiar. All the panels appear to have had a fresh gelcoat

It was indeed with a trader in Gloucestershire for £36k https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds ... -5/8597903.

I think it's been discussed before, and not in a good way...

Both of these cars are very high spec - hence the prices ..

Wow - £46k for the 3 and £50k for the 3.5 - those are healthy prices even for factory approved cars. I imagine those prices reflect the increasing interest in Atoms, driven by the 4.

NigelS - you may want to revise your budget. As Smokin says, I doubt you'll lose much, if any, money on these over the next few years.

Makes me glad I bought mine last year!

The only solution to it, as I recall, was fitting a supercharger - something I was against (I didn't want a charged car). The NVH levels were considerably improved over the 2 I had & the uprights a lot more solid/ reliable. That said, my uprights failed on the first track day I had out in my 3 - something that had never happened in the 2 (which I tracked a lot).

Maybe I had a bit of a Friday afternoon car, who knows, but I ended up preferring the rawness of the 2 in the end. The 3.5 really was different, however. The extra .5 moniker didn't really do it justice - though of course it made sense to name it as such.

Thanks, I've been deliberating the pro and cons of the 2 & 3 allot over the last few months and will be running both over the summer but i can definitely relate to what you say regards the rawness of the 2 :)

Got to ask what are your personal preferences with the 2?
I prefer the cable throttle over the fbw any day but i guess its personal choice.
