On Ebay : 1944 Ariel W/NG excellent runner

Post by Vincent.vanGinneke »

Nice WNG, just a clean and Go !
Speedo being centrally mounted would suggest it is a early WNG, but a lot can happen over 75+ years
That speedo still has it's WD seal, not many around like that.

Missing the upper toolbox, lower chainguard and bash plate, but those can be found having the right contacts in the AOMCC :D
Prop stand leg has small diameter, looks to be a DIY. Horn bracket....sigh.. :D
CP has a speedo drive, possibly the box -or just the front part- got swapped during it's life.
Handlebar is propped in the clamps, should have two long halves fitted to bridge the 1"to 7/8" .
In all a very nice basis and .....those girder 350ies are the best Ariel to have ! :lol:

Not too shabby. No damper is correct for later and maybe the Headlamp switch under the seat? Universal seat? Would be nice to see it in proper NAVY colours and the right horn mount.. Less monstered than most. Some of the early gearbox outer cases had a plug in the speedo cable hole The originals are not polished or cleaned up at all Just as cast and minimum fettling, matched to the inner cover. TIN timing cover and the other tool box?. I like it. How much is it? (not that I need it) I have my trusty early one Nev
