Atlantis Motor Co. Ltd. was a British automobile manufacturer based in Attleborough, Norfolk, that operated from 1982 to 1986. Founded by Michael Booth, the company aimed to produce a touring car that evoked the design aesthetics of the 1930s. The Atlantis was initially offered as a complete vehicle priced from £39,000, but it later transitioned to an up-market kit car format.
The design of the Atlantis featured bodywork inspired by the renowned French coachbuilder Figoni & Falaschi. The car was originally available as a fixed-head model with four seats, but in 1985, a full drophead coupe variant was introduced. The mechanical components of the Atlantis were primarily derived from the Jaguar XJ, although at least one unit was equipped with a V8 engine.
Despite being theoretically available throughout the 1980s, the production of the Atlantis was limited, with only approximately 15 units built before the company ceased operations in 1986.
