Don't know if anyone has noticed the ex top gear atom is for sale?

I was fortunate to have a ride in this at Anglesey and was absolutely blown away. I have a 385 bhp Westfield Seight and most track cars are normally a little underwhelming.... quite the contrary in this case. I know the chap that owns it, he has an enviable car collection and I am sure this has wanted for nothing. Own a piece of history!!

Very reliable. They aren't even fitted with an intercooler as they have so little weight to push around with the 300bhp.

I've had mine 3 months and done Croft, Oulton, Donington and Anglesey in it so far. Cadwell is next. Its never missed a beat. I'm on my third set of rear AO48R tyres but my first set of fronts and it has hardly touched the brake pads. Alcon 4 pots front and rear. I change the oil and filter after every second trackday.

I can't recommend them enough.
