Ariel first produced bicycles in the late 1800s eventually progressing onto motorcycles in 1902. After a typically rocky few years for manufacturers, in 1932 Jack Sangster bought Ariel from the receivers at a bargain price. In 1959, Ariel discontinued its four-stroke machines and produced the Leader, a fully enclosed 250cc two-stroke twin with a shapely body reaching from the headlamp back, with the new model aiming to combine the benefits of the motorcycle with the advantages of a scooter. They also made the Arrow, keeping the Leaders enclosed chain case and deep mudguards but in a more sporty style. Both models proved to be the last true Ariel designs until the Japanese invasion led to the closure of the factory in the mid-1960s.
