The sales blurp :

Ariel Red Hunter 500
Nice basis for restoration.
Top model of Ariel, model Red Hunter a 500cc OHV with high exhausts.
In 1932 Ariel launched a new model range and it was an instant success. The top model, the Red Hunter, was very popular with sporty drivers and is widely used for racing and off-road competitions.
This is a nice base for restoration. The lower block has been overhauled, new piston and drilled, new valves, springs and guides. Previous owner changed the cylinder head to a younger model with closed valves.

This bike was last heard of in 1986 when it was in the country that it was originally exported to - Denmark. At that time the 1939 VA still had its original engine, the 1937 VG engine now fitted also went to Denmark in frame XF 9063.

The sales blurp mentioned : 'the cilinderhead was changed in to a enclosed valve model'
Possibly this seller does not know or he is being creative with words.
anyway , I do hope that a prospective buyer visits this forum to get in to 'the know'
