A quick google has turned up this company: www.tridenttrailers.com/Trailer_hire.htm - £56 for a weekend!
"Trident Trailers have Car trailers & Transporters for hire and rent in Kent, Sussex and the South-East of England
"Each Branch, Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone, Sittingbourne and Canterbury has its own fleet of trailers & transporters for hire so please check with your nearest branch regarding availability and advice on your nearest trailer hire centre for your choice of trailer etc.
Canterbury 0870-116-1260
Maidstone 0870-116-1261
Sittingbourne 0870-116-1262

Don't forget, you'll need a car with a tow bar, and that the Ariel is wider than a Caterham, so get the widest one you can.

I pay £30 for the day from a small local company called triangle trailers. They have two car trailers ,one is a Brian James and the Atom only just fits ,the other is a flat bed Blue line trailer,which is too high for mine as I have the front wing fitted.
Bruce's price of £56 for the weekend seems very good,I may even go that way myself on the next Atom club day out. Looking forward to Bedford ,mark

looking forward to it Bruce,I will be there at around 8.30.
Checked the car over for loose nuts/bolts/baked bean tins etc, and found the front nose cone stay had completly come undone,that was it,oh yes the indicator cover fell off as well. A very small price to pay for an hooligans day out.
See you saturday

Mark and Bruce,
I would like to ask you to be very courageous and to test, as passenger, the new supercharged Atom ... no wait, don't run away !!! And to make a complete report concerning the engine comportment at different rpm level compared to the "normal" Honda.
Don't forget to open your eyes, even if you are affraid, and compare the noise level with your car (normaly, less noise with supercharger) !
Some pics on the supercharger can have an interest too.
Thank you very much,
Jean-Pascal

It's not supercharged - just a 'normal' 220, but tricked up so that it handles fantastically and I think it's chipped a little, too. I went out with Keith - the test driver - it was like being in my car, only on fast forward! It's very 'pointy' i.e. it turns in very fast which is great on hairpins, but a bit twitchy otherwise, Keith seems to know how to handle it, though - it seems to be a bit of a a handful, but he's a good racer and a little quick opposite lock soon sorts it out.
Keith did help me with a particularly tricky corner, which I was taking about 50% faster after my ride! Sadly I picked up a nail near the sidewall (happily in my last run), so will need a new Dunlop R.
Thanks to the Ariel chaps for sorting out a couple of minor glitches on the day - made me feel appreciated, which is always nice!
Looking forward to seeing some pics from the sole American Atom owner who was there for the day, too!
