Good to see you and your son at the show Mark. Thanks also to the other Mark, who had his Atom Cup car on the Ariel stand, for showing me around the car.

Good to chat with Steve and Tom from the factory and I later saw Henry and Tom trying out some of the seats for size on the Tillett stand.

I only had a phone camera, so the pictures aren't the best ..

Ariel Stand - Don't think the carpet colour did the 2 cars on show justice ..
Where's Steve and Tom ..

isn't this a Atom 3 with the headlight conversion? Bonnet looks 3 to me...

+1  It does

i like the look of the bilsteins

[John Scherrer]

Agreed - the bonnet is not the 'coffin' shape, but it might be the 3.5 without the new bonnet!?

I don't recall if it had the new digital instruments fitted. Here's what the information said about it, looks pretty much a 2013 build from this !

I've got an Atom due in a few months that should be to 3.5 spec. Build pics the guys at Ariel sent me show what I believe to be the one way adjustable shocks from the AA3. Has anyone had a AA3.5 delivered with the one way adjustable shocks?

That rules me out of this competition, damn!!!. Used to keep my sandwiches in there, now there's no room.
