    Brammo built only, please.

    Fully loaded with Recaros a definite must. Shift light and oil accumulator very optional.

    Thanks!

    This looks SUPER fishy, how every facebook scam starts. Tread lightly and don't send this guy any non-recoverable money.

    You can find the guy if you Google his details.

    He hasn't responded.

    Sometimes they catfish a real person. My stepdaughter got scammed out of a rental deposit...guy used a real person, real property, she researched him, etc. I would have stopped her if I had known he requested Cashapp. A lot of times they will disappear if they are called out. Maybe try contacting him through another site.

    Unfortunately not.

    It sold to someone who had flown to Utah today. I would have matched or beaten the price but it was already gone when I called.

    It turns out that this was an Atom 3, not 2, and was asking far too much money.

    They guy does detail some great old 12 cylinder Ferraris.

    So... I'm still looking.

    This one is a serious turd: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2007-ariel-atom-2-7/

    No wings, no shift lights, no carbon fiber at all. Fully loaded with all of that, and in mint condition, should be between $60k and $70k. With several days to go it's still quite high.

    This example is in a sorry state. Check out the crushed and faded Alcantara that has turned some shade of green. The whole thing would need to be re-trimmed.

    But it could make a good track day car...

    So that looks like it was a fake seller.

    After a few exchanges, I sent an email asking for photos of the footwell and the VIN/MSO stamp. The "seller" stopped communicating. I sent another to make sure the first one didn't get lost. Nothing.

    I'm wrong.

    The seller says he was away for the weekend. I got the photos I asked for.

    It's not scent-free, but it doesn't smell as bad as it did last week.
