Very cool... Nomad, a great name for a race buggy!

I remember the old Ariel square four motorcycles, and wondered if this Nomad was based on a motorcycle engine, or automotive power plant.
From what I can find, it appears that Honda bought the name plate and has been producing a Honda Civic powered, tube chassis vehicle named Atom. The Nomad must be a version of that.
