Ariel Atom

[changeling67]

Saw this wee beastie at Exeter Services whilst on my travels.  It is the Ariel Atom, which is immediately identifiable by its exoskeletal chassis.  It's debut appearance was at Birmingham NEC in 1996 and allegedly it can go from 0-100 mph at 10.88 seconds.

I like the Lotus 7/Caterham, as seen on the Sci-Fi cult series 'The Prisoner.' Beautiful, but impractical here. You have a day of sunshine in June, then it rains for 18 months LOL :-)
