Really nice !

Is this a supercharged 3 with a 3.5 upgrade ?
Partial or complete upgrade ?

Congrats.

In France only two real Mugen were imported and, for sure, one with its grey card for road. This last is owned by a famous french film-maker in Paris area. What a huge N/A model.

Its the 3 upgraded to 3.5, really pleased with it other than the customary knock on the dampers, looking to source that tape that can be used to fettle it.. do you know where we can buy the stuff?

When I set off for a run out this afternoon it was cold but sunny.. didn't quite expect this at Hartside Cafe. Wonder if Ariel do a heated seat option?

Hi Craig,

What a very pretty car....  however, not wanting to appear overly 'geeky' (and don't take this the wrong way as I can't see your rear dampers/shocks) but in your pics, your front (Red) helper springs look FULLY compressed even without you in the car....!  so what's causing the "knock" ....?

Your right that is Geeky, the photo had to be resized (smaller) to ensure it would upload into the forum, rest assured the springs are not fully compressed event when we are in the car...

Im looking to treat our valued employees to a super car experience this Christmas (where they drive the cars, rather than being driven) want to include an Ariel Atom (of course) a Ferrari, Porsche, Lambo, maybe more etc, any recommendations as to good providers in the North of England..?
