Turbo gives much better mpg than an atmo, my turbo delivers over 35 when cruising at 70.
Being in a convoy with Stephen Dell's atmo is like having a kid say "can I go to the toilet" at every 2nd service station, but we have to stop so Steve can fill up again.

Is the Atmo at the breakers in Accrington not pearl white? Hard to tell from the pictures. If so, maybe there are others.

Pretty sure its flat white, he bought a few bits from me...

Pearl was an expensive option from Renault, so not many people buying the cheaper atmo may have gone for it,
