Ariel 500 single Indian petrol tank for sale - SOLD

Post by john.davies »

I have a spare Indian made petrol tank for a 500 single that I will not be using. I bought this tank a couple of years ago as I was thinking of replacing the tank on my bitsa VH as the chrome on the petrol tank (also Indian) had started to peel. Once it arrived and I saw how shinny the new tank was compared to the rest of the bike I changed my mind and decided to just oily rag wipe what was there. I have not tried to fit it so not sure how well it would fit. It does have one problem I can see is that for some reason the chap who made it left off the 2 small metal tangs inside the petrol filler cap hole for the cap to attach to (see pic 5). What should be there can be seen in the 1st picture. Should be an easy fix though may need to touch up the paint after. The pics below are from the eBay listing I bought it from except number 5 which is the tank I received showing the filler cap hole.
I am looking for £200 for it which is a lot less that you would have to pay for one now and you would get an Indian tank that you can see first and also know that you wont get caught for customs duty when it arrives. I would much prefer collection from here in Bath to save any chance of loss or damage in transit or I do attend a number of auto jumbles which we could meet up at. Please PM me if interested.
