I've got a caterham and I'm thinking of changing to an atom after having seen one in Bushey on saturday.
Is there anyone in the north london or herts area who could let me have a look at, sit in, maybe passenger in their's so that I can see if it's worth a trip to somerset for a test drive
Thanks stewart

I'm sure you'll get plenty of replies as there's quite a few in Herts/Beds.

Cheers

John

PS What was it that attracted you to the Atom?

Stewart,

I see you are in London, where abouts? I am in Guildford, but any excuse to get out and about in the Atom. If not too far I'll give you a spin.

There's always an open invitation up here at Warwick should you fancy travelling up north for a ride.

Stewart, there is one in Watford and another in Stanmore. The other way is Cambridge I believe

Yep, I am in Cambridge but have the Atom at work which is in Herts (just) Happy to take you for a spin (not literally as I did for Paul at the Haynes day !)

Work is in Royston, so North Herts. Take the car in most days when it is not raining. Send me a PM to arrange a time etc

I guess we're referring to the Lotus 340R?

. . . and what does the Lotus stand for?

Lots of trouble usually serious . . .

Especially in 340Rs. Good luck with it mate!
