...hello Marcin, this is my first look at your story...don't know how I've overlooked it in the past, maybe coz I know nothing about the MF.
Those forks look suspiciously like the leftovers from the 1929 models to me, I'd been under the impression they were only used for the one year. Barry.

The fork is 1932. You can see it on the separate ears for the mudguard stays.

32 forks also have strengthening ribs on the fork links.

Some current photographs of my Ariel MF'32. Now I bought a new piston, renovating bottom of the engine and gearbox.

Except my motorcycle, I found in Poland 2 other Ariel M2F'32 with Polish history.

That is a lovely classic motorcycle, you have done well to find such a complete example.
'51 SQ4, '56 NH, '56 VH, '37 VH500 Red Hunter, '56 SQ4 (basket case), '49 Sq4 (basket case), '48 A7 BSA Twin, 12 other BSA's, 9 Norton's, 2 Triumph's, 3 Ducati's and 3 Japanese. Just crazed is all my problem is.

Hi, i have the parts and the owners guide on PDF if you want. I also own one. The one i bought is from 31 bud has also 32 parts on it. When i bought it there was no internet so i had to make a lot of parts from of the parts manual, so some of them are not having the original looks.
In Holland are still parts to find from this type.
