Ariel Rolling chassis

[LRdriver]

I've been looking around and the Atom seems more and more fun. I am tired of the practicality of the elise but have spent some money on the engine.
Do you guys think it would be possible to buy one as a rolling chassis? then I could throw my engine into it ,smart huh!..

well that was the plan. The elise has a K series in it. I currently am getting close to 200bhp out of it and wanted to use this engine in the atom as opposed to starting again with a 120bhp K..
I spoke with Simon, and he still wants too much for a rolloing chassis. So I was wondering if any owners out there wanted to sell (He claims 80 where sold, so at least somebody should be selling)

IIRC it was 14-15K plus VAT..and that was for one of the second hand ones.. I think they just subtract the cost of a "K" ie 1000 quid from the price, so I too, thought that was a bit OTT..
