A little ill-conceived, the Ariel 3 was launched in 1970. A tricycle aimed squarely at commuters, the Ariel 3 was powered by a 50cc Dutch Anker engine and featured a banking front end controlled by torsion bars, while its closely-spaced rear wheels, allowed the Ariel trike to be classed as a moped. The machine turned out to be a sales disaster, and likely played a part in the company’s collapse.

This little Ariel 3 was found in a shed in 2005. Recently running and ridden around the current vendor's yard. Believed to be correct numbers, it is a very original machine and survivor of a quirky piece of British motorcycle history, rarely seen today, and in this condition. It comes complete with a current V5C.
