• The baby Ariel Red Hunter
• Restored at great cost
• A rare survivor today
• Current V5C on file with lots of receipts

Like a lot of British motorcycle companies, Ariel began producing bicycles in the late 19th century, eventually progressing to motorcycles in 1902. After enduring a slightly difficult period, Ariel went into receivership and was bought in 1932 by Jack Sangster at a bargain price. The company was renamed Ariel Motors (J.S.) Ltd., and promptly resumed production in a new factory in Selly Oak, Birmingham. The big Square Four continued in production and was joined by the new Red Hunter, which was such a success it enabled Ariel to purchase Triumph motorcycles, before Sangster sold both to the BSA group in 1951.

On offer is a very well-presented Ariel 250 LH Red Hunter. It was restored by the previous owner at great expense, being extensively stripped, with components rebuilt or replaced during the restoration. An ideal lightweight machine for many VMCC rides and events, it is offered with a current V5C, a host of receipts for parts, work carried out, and a dating certificate from the Ariel Owners’ Club.
