_'Starting out as a university project, the Ariel Atom unveiled its first prototype in 1996 under the nameplate of LSC (Lightweight Sports Car).'_ I saw the OG at the Birmingham motor show in '96. I even talked to the Engineering student as I was an Engineer myself. Very clever chap. 'Old Top Gear' never even covered it in the show.
Thanks for telling this story. An important sidebar is the foolishness of paying a fortune for a 'performance' car. Here is your track car. Fast and much cheaper. Fast enough to scare me! R
good video. Im glad you mentioned the Lotus 7. Caterham still carries the Torch an still makes 7's,, But,, Good luck finding even a running Miata that doesn't have holes in the floor for under $4000. They are hard to get, so expect to pay $5000+ for a rough one.

Wasn't 300bhp the regulation limit for WRC and British Touring Cars, back in the early 2000s?
The top version of the atom is a v8 powered 500 bhp, not the 350
The up-scrolling text is kinda hard to follow.
