Ummmmmmm....old supercar, you could snaffle a decent one for 38k, or a very good kitcar.

Its a non-brainer for me, but i guess some people must like them, as they are in business.

But its not all about performance is it?

I'd far rather have an old aston/ferrari etc than the atom.

I recommend telling your dad to get a sportsbike, a boobjob for your mum and split the rest between an ISA and a high interest savings account.

Another fine piece of advice dispensed.

What is its NCAP safety rating?

But seriously how do things like this get around or comply with all the rules and regs?

safety.

Maybe they get around it because they make so few of them?

Yeah they made the rules easier for low volume manufacturers. I forget what it's called - SVA I think?
