The importers address via Google is very close to Palatov MS (I am sure is unrelated.) Google has them at 905 SE Grand St in Portland
Not the china made uprights though.

Looks like they plan on selling a LOT of them..stacks of red frames in the background in one of those photos...
I'll bet Ariel is not too happy about this!
The power of an Atom is a terrible thing to waste! Atom owner/operator since 2007. The more you chase perfection,the faster it becomes. John Force for President! (I asked him once in person...he laughed)
I think the pictures were taken in China and the address is Portland. Look at the pink floor in the picture Iphone__868.jpg thats a picture from China . Look at the pictures all around the car, 10 frame down the floor is pink to ???? The China Uprights where from 09 I believe. They could have been changed to the TMI style. That means that the car would be based on the UK style not US. Right.
WOW, the level of rip off is amazing! I think you are right about China Atom experiment. Did you see all 356 replica's? The red plastic on the frames would make the floor look pink
We're on it!
Team TMI
Just because the pictures will disappear off of eBay very soon ...
This is a pdf with all of the pictures
It's not like there is this HUGE market for exo-skeletal cars,let alone exact copies of an original car,which is still in active production..I don't understand the business sense of it at all.
Starting with what you get for $12k. and then adding all the rest (and there is a lot missing..) will put you easily into the price range of a ready to drive SRA,so why bother?? When you are all done with your "kit",you certainly can't call it anything but a Chinese knockoff,so the return on your time and money spent would be quite poor,if you ever intend to sell it. I dunno...just rubs me the wrong way...
Makes me want to hit the buy-it-now..and then tell them to shove it...such evil thoughts...![]()

If this is from Ariel China, they have a license to make them in China. I have no idea if they can sell them in the US but I would guess not.
So they are an official manufacturer still I believe.
