A.J. Stevens & Co Ltd started producing motorcycles in 1897. Success in racing soon followed with Eric Williams' win in the 1914 TT, the firm also taking second, third, fourth and sixth places so beginning a long line of sporting achievements. An amalgamation with Matchless in 1931 formed Associated Motor Cycles which continued until the group's closure in the mid-60s. The NG350 was built mainly for the British military, designed by the firm's chief engineer Val Page around an engine he had developed six years earlier and based on a Scottish six-day Trials winning model, going into production in 1940. The Ariel was not initially selected by the War Department but they were in great demand after the evacuation of Dunkirk when much of the British Army's materiel had been left behind.

This 1948 model, being offered at no reserve, has been fitted with a 500cc top end and will make an ideal winter project to restore back to original or possibly convert into a period trials bike. The bike comes supplied with a current V5C.
