1927 Ariel 2 1/2 HP Lightweight SOLD

This is a rare 250cc side valve Blackburne engine (3 stud version) Ariel Lightweight . There are only a handful still known to exist. This bike was featured in "Riding Old Motorcycles" written by Reg Eyre (page 40). The book is still available from the VMCC shop. The bike is very original and shows a lovely patina. The handlebars are the "semi T. T." version which was an option when first produced. It starts and runs really well and is a joy to ride, although the brakes could be improved with some more modern material (still running on the original Fibrax). Comes with V5C and Green duplicate log book. V5C shows 2 former keepers since 1927 when it was first registered, although believed to be a 1924 model by the AOC.

1954 Ariel VH500 or Red Hunter. Comes with a V5C. The bike is an older restoration that has not been used for a few years. If you look closely you will see that it had new wheels at some point, new exhaust, fork oil seals, shocks, seat and paintwork. I would guess that it was restored maybe ten years ago and has mellowed ...

Rare model. Totally original, unmollested and in outstanding condition. Recent engine rebuild by an Ariel Square Four expert. In my opinion, it will be very difficult to find another that ticks all the boxes as this one does. 98% of it's ownership was a father and son with complete history from day one. The bike is museum ...
