It looks like a more space age Africar.

Don't know what this is but I don't think it's old enough to be a classic anyway.

Is that an Aerial Atom?

Is that an Aerial Atom?

Yes I think it is

Is that an Aerial Atom?

I genuinely haven't a clue. There were no badges to be seen.

I'd love a chance to drive it though as it looks like it might be fun

That IS an Ariel Atom, an earlier one. I have driven one and it is top of my lottery jackpot car list.

I would go for the V8 .... 0-100mph in 5.4s

You know when more might not actually be more?!

Totally agree. I have wanted an Atom for as long as they have existed, but would not go for the V8.

A neighbour has recently started working there. It's a very small firm.

That brings back some memories. My Dad had one of those as the works vehicle. Used it to go to the quarry to pick up some waste for the base for some crazy paving.
