    BUT Ariel Atom USA, i.e. T.M.I. autotech, only lists the year the car was completed in on their MCO, ergo any car finished before jan 1 is a "2012' this i know because i requested the car be MCO'd out a 2013.. tMI said "no problem" but the MCO says 2012, and when mentioned they replied it can only be a 2012 unless made in 2013.

    hence this is a 2012 vehicle.


    just a question since i went thru the same battle... since i got the car end of novem 2012, i would have really liked it to be a 2013.. but it's officially a 2012.. forever and always.
    Hmmmm.... Since my car started the build in 2012 but isn't completed until 2013, I wonder what TMI will document it as.

    In that case, should've just ask them to leave off the engine cover tray and waited until Jan 1st to put it on and call it 2013

    I'm often asked about the availability of new and second hand cars. Seems there is equally as good selection in the States as to what is available in the UK. Being LHD is the only draw back.
    I heard from TMI today, and the answer is that they do not support RHD. The brackets for the steering and pedals for RHD are not installed originally, and are not available separately.

    Thanks Eddie. That's handy to know.

    It's also handy to know there are some Brammo chassis out there with LHD/RHD options like Norm's and David's.
    Anyone looking to sell should make sure they mention it. There are always going to be off shore buyers looking at all markets as the UK offering is way too small. Only 5 cars at present and summer is over.
