I remember this car from a winton day.
(it blew up BTW)
Had a chat with the owner as I was looking at an atom at the time.
so to get it rego'ed they had to modify it enough so that it was not longer a Atom and it was able to be registered as a "kit car"
so the chassis has been lengthened and modified. motor was significantly modified.
Lots of back yard work on the car so not a 200K car.
EDIT:
Found the day, damn that was a while ago: http://racing.natsoft.com.au/641031242/object_28137.87C/View?2 http://www.jaydeequantum.com.au/history/index.html
quotes:
a new 10” longer wheelbase chassis was designed and built
Almost all of the car bodywork, moulds and components were produced by Jaydee (in New Gisborne)
Jaydee purchased the car in parts in 2006, and imported it to Australia. We re engineered the seating, brakes, steering
a new motor
yeah that a Atom...
