1285auctions are advertising a very rare Ariel with no miles from a private collection, but I can't seem to find the catalogue of the sale yet.

Just if anyone was interested, it wasn't rust in the tank. Took it off today to find is is full of bits of Epoxy. One of the mounting points on the underside has had a repair, so I suspect it was to seal this poor weld.

It started and ran well enough, but one cylinder was considerably warmer than the othe...

Did anyone see this?

Was your Ariel built to be E10 compliant?

Twelve years, and what an amazing story!

It says the engine is free, so I wouldn't complain about a missing cylinder.

Sunshine whats that? This is my leisure transport at the moment. As for road tests I've only done one hundred miles since completing the Compulsory Basic Training.
