This is my high specification 2010 Ariel Atom 3 300, which I am offering for sale. The car has covered just 8335 miles in it's life and sits with a lot of tread on the tyres. As this is a June registered car the routine service and MOT has lately been carried out (June 1st 2015), so does not need touching until this time next year (or 4,500 miles if you hit that first). It has been mine for the last 3 summers, however the time has come to sell my Atom due to the fact I simply no longer have the time to take it out as much as it deserves. It therefore seems fit to let someone else have the pleasure of owning such a machine. I've loved every single second of my ownership and I hope whoever buys it will enjoy it just the same.

Since I've owned the vehicle I have purchased:
A second set of wheels and tyres, which I bought off the Atom Club Forum so that the car could sit on these through the winter months; and I stored the main wheels and tyres separately to maintain their condition.
The Sports Exhaust - I believe this to be a rare bit of kit and just adds to the roar of the car. It's a very simple task to swap over and is done within 10 minutes.
(These items are not a part of the price, however if you want these items we can discuss this also, I don't expect a fortune for them.)
The car has 10 months MOT and full service history, all receipts are available to see and of course come with the sale. As the factory is quite some distance from me I searched to find someone highly recommended to carry out the routine maintenance on this vehicle. I found that a master technician at a Honda dealer near me had done work on many other Atoms, so he became the man for the job. He allows me in the workshop when carrying out the servicing and MOT, and I get to watch how he meticulously takes care of my car.
The pictures really don't do my car justice. I have had the car detailed twice and it looks great. I'm sure you'll agree if you come to see.
As you'd expect the car:
- is HPI clear, was paid for cash and of course is accident free - I can supply proof of this for you at my cost. However if you wish to completely satisfy yourself of this and are a serious buyer, I will give you the registration number so you can make your own checks.
- is mechanically sound and has never missed a beat.
- is maintained to the highest standard and only the best fluids used (factory recommended engine oil, factory recommended gearbox oil, as used in Formula 1 Castrol React SRF Racing Brake Fluid and so on...)
- is garaged
- has never seen the rain
The Price: £35,500
If you have any questions feel free to get in touch, however please only if you are serious. Test drives are at my discretion and will only be agreed if I think you are a serious buyer and have necessary insurance to be driving this car. This is an excellent opportunity to buy one of these exciting cars at a fair price. It draws a lot of attention and smiles from everyone - nothing comes close in many ways.
