The Red Hunter name had been a popular seller for Ariel from its inception in 1939. In 1954 the Red Hunter model was modernised and much improved with the fitting of a new duplex frame complete with swing arm rear suspension. The 350 model received an aluminium alloy cylinder head in 1956 and gained full-width alloy hubs. Production ceased in 1959 as the British industry tried to reinvent itself just at the point of the Japanese innovation came to UK shores. Perhaps one of the greatest single-cylinder motorcycles.
Presenting as a very clean and an attractively styled mid '50s machine, this pretty example was restored to a very high standard in 2012 and there are photographs of the restoration included with the motorcycle. Believed to be in good running order, the vendor describes the bike as "an easy starter and a delight to ride". The machine has the correct frame and engine combination. Offered with some extensive history on file, there are receipts, photographs, old MOTs, and other associated paperwork.
