• A very original Ariel Pixie
• Very rare to have panniers fitted
• It last ran earlier this year
• Ride or restore

The appropriately named 'Pixie' joined Ariel's advanced motorcycle line up in 1963. Another of Val Page's innovative designs, it used a version of the BSA Beagle's four-stroke motor scaled down to 50cc, although its original design had incorporated an OHC unit. The use of pressed steel for the frame followed the practice used in its larger siblings the Leader and the Arrow, the tiny machine getting an advanced form of rubber suspension - Who said the British bike industry was behind the times? Dropped when the Ariel brand was ‘killed-off’ by parent company, BSA, in 1966.

This c.1963 Ariel Pixie has been sitting in a dry shed for many years. It was discovered and it was taken upon by the vendor to get it going which he successfully did. The Pixie comes complete with a very rare set of panniers which are in good condition. Sadly, there is no paperwork for this machine and a log book will need to be applied for.
