Beschreibung
The Atalanta Revival is very rare in being a completely new build and constructed by an original manufacturer.
Traditionally hand crafted from scratch, with modern day automotive advancements discretely packaged within the elegant lines of the original 1930's design, the Revival car remains true to the original design ethos. All round performance was assured through employing modern materials and technology only where appropriate, such as rack and pinion steering and disc brakes, to ensure reliability, safety, and compliance with modern vehicle legislation.
The new cars (costing around £150000) provided responsive performance and a comfortable ride, coupled with engaging yet benign handling delivering an exhilarating drive even at modest speeds.
Of the three Atalanta Revival cars produced, only one was finished in iconic Bluebird blue. The build started in 2017 with the approval of Gina Campbell and Don Wales to celebrate Donald Campbell's record-breaking heritage and to mark the 50th anniversary of the great man's death. Presented with a mahogany dash and removable stainless steel luggage rack, the car gives a gentle nod to the Campbell water speed tradition.
The Bluebird Atalanta Revival two-seater is powered (as Gough originally intended) by a lightweight 2. 5-litre four-cylinder, Atalanta-developed engine, producing 214bhp and 198lb/ ft of torque. The transmission is a manual five-speed Borg Warner unit with a revised and updated Atalanta aluminium casing.
Unlike other Vintage-style cars, almost everything on the Atalanta is bespoke. The new Atalanta is constructed of hand-beaten aluminium panels over an ash frame, with a claimed 90% of the components designed and engineered in-house. This car is one of only three new-build Atalanta and the only Bluebird car ever produced, with only test and delivery mileage recorded. Newly registered with the DVLA in 2022.
