ARIEL NOMAD - £Auction
This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Iconic Sale at the NEC Classic Motor Show 2025 on Saturday the 8th of November, NEC, Birmingham, B40 1NT. The Ariel Nomad was developed as an off-road counterpart to the Atom, combining the same lightweight engineering philosophy with rugged capability. Built around the Atom 3 platform, it retains the exposed tubular chassis whilst adopting long-travel suspension, all-terrain tyres and a protective framework, making it a distinctive machine designed for both road and adventure-use. Power comes from a 2.4-litre four-cylinder Honda Civic engine producing 235bhp in standard form, with the option of a supercharger increasing output to 300bhp. Weighing from just 675kg (or around 800kg with certain options), performance is remarkable, with 0–60mph covered in 3.4 seconds and a top speed in the region of 130mph. Drive is delivered through a 6-speed Honda manual gearbox, with the chassis balance and acceleration figures placing it firmly in supercar territory despite its off-road focus. Practical options that could be specified include a hydraulic handbrake, heated glass windscreen, mobile phone charger, roof rack and a discreet glovebox beneath the nose, while Perspex splash guards offer limited but useful protection from the elements. Off-road features such as a front winch, heavy-duty tow eyes and a suspension system designed for extreme conditions emphasise the Nomad’s versatility. This Ariel Nomad is a 235bhp model with 6-speed manual transmission, finished with blue body panels over a satin black chassis and black alloy wheels. It is right-hand drive with an MPH speedometer and supplied with the factory Road Pack, which includes all lights and switchgear required for road-use. The mechanical specification includes a raised air intake, oil cooler system, stainless fittings for the brake and clutch lines, and a cockpit-adjustable remote brake bias. Suspension is uprated with the expensive option for FOX multi-adjustable hydraulic bump-stop dampers and two-piece springs, set up with an off-road bias. Braking is managed through a cockpit adjustable remote brake bias. Inside, occupants are secured by 2" harnesses with alloy chest adjusters on both sides. Further features include a locking fuel cap, a 12v auxiliary socket, and a pair of aero (fly) screens for some protection yet 100kg lighter than the windscreen option. The Nomad sits on a 15" wheel package fitted with 50/50 road and off-road tyres, with added protection including front suspension and body tub guards, a coolant pipe guard, and a sump guard/bash plate. In summary, this is an outstanding opportunity to acquire a virtually as-new Ariel Nomad from its first and only owner, showing just 640 miles and correctly road-registered with a current V5C ready for transfer or export. With its striking specification and rugged engineering, it offers huge versatility as both an exhilarating road car and a highly capable off-road machine.
