For 1970, Epoch uncovered a new replacement for the M40 based upon the previous year’s M10 Maxi chassis. Utilising an upgraded and oversized variant of the previous M40 engine, the M40 Atlas now boasted a 2290cc (140cui) inline 4 and new developments in suspension design and manufacturing, along with increased chassis stiffness and durability. One of the 1970 M40 Atlas’ claim to fame was that it could carry a load of over 2200kg, an amazing achievement for a car that weighed less than 1000kg.
