Unidentified Ariel (VB 600?)

Post by Akumar »

Dear fellow enthusiasts,

I have acquired another Ariel. The seller was unsure of model and year. I will post the engine and frame numbers as soon as I get these. I included a photo below.

Front forks looks like 1947 > 1948 due to the top yoke. Front wheel seems a later item, maybe 1949 onwards...
