Beautiful machine Dave, Thanks for the photos. I’m jealous. You guys over there sure are lucky to be able to see so many old Ariel’s on the road. It’s a very rare event to see one anywhere on my side of the world let alone one going down the road.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I’m still looking for the correct front hub, fender, carb and fuel tank. Is this tank on there now off of a VH? If so any guesses about the year? I do know the front hub is off a BSA, but not sure about this tank.
